Why am I always learning after the fact?
Last night was a good night. I met up with my friend Michel, who I like, and we went to the Bike Rally holiday party, which also had a lot of people I liked. Good fun.
Except after the fact it hit me that Michel didn't know any people, and I left him alone more than once to go talk to someone from the rally that I knew. All because I couldn't work out at the time that the right thing to say was, "come meet these great people," rather than "I'll be right back after I go talk to these great people." Next time I'll try to remember to pick door number one.

There are many people out there who have committed the same flaw, me included. It’s nice to know that you recognize it and will now know better next time. Most people done!
Nice entries btw. This is the first time I've read your web blog.
