Wise, Words to the

If you're starting a blog and hope to update it semi-regularly, don't launch it when you have a two-month old baby at home, at the beginning of a summer when you plan to spend almost every day you don't have to go in to work, up at the cabin.

Also: when starting a major outdoor project like, say, repairing, stripping and repainting your deck, check the weather forecast and make sure you aren't on the cusp of a record-breaking heatwave.

Live and don't learn, that's our motto, as Hobbes said. (The stuffed tiger, not the stuffy philosopher.)
