Rules

My previous post about one of my rules (regarding the train station bar) got me thinking about other rules that I have. Here goes.

• If it's sunny and warm outside, we will drop all plans and have drinks outside at the train station bar (The Jigger!) by our house after work.
  
• If there is awful traffic: get a hotel, go to a nice restaurant or bookstore, or otherwise get off of the road and wait it out. (Also known as the Silver Lining Rule).
  
• Wooden hangers (this rule deferred while in NZ)
• Nice comfy sheets and towels (this rule also deferred while in NZ)
• Show up to family events. Very important rule.
• Keep promises.
  
• Burgermaster no more than once every 3 months
  
• Ice-cream when offered by mom has zero calories.
• Always give rides to people who need it. Drop them off at their door, and don't pull away until you see they're safely inside.
• When offered a free trip/adventure/accommodation, take that person up on it.

• If either spouse has errands in Kent for any reason, there will be BBQ Caveman sandwiches for dinner.
  

New Rule:
Empty change purse for street musicians.

Important principle (useful in decision making):
Time is more valuable than money. (This principle allows me to argue for more vacations!)
