haha - now THAT made me laugh!

But do you remember that 'song' that was a big hit some years back, it was based on some newspaper advice column and was called "wear sunscreen" or something like that.

"Do one thing every day that scares you" and "Read the directions, even if you don't follow them" were a couple of the lines that I'll always remember but there was also "keep your old love letters but throw away your old bank statements."

It was Kurt Vonnegut's commencement speech to MIT in 1997. Or Not. The song is based off of the "commencement speech" text.

As for the passes, I keep them. They go into a stack with all the other paperwork and maps I pick up on a trip for a later scrapbook. Most of by travel is leisure instead of business, so that makes more sense than a weekly business commute.
