Recently, I've been noticing specific behaviors of others that either irritate me or pleasantly surprise me, and filing them away mentally so that I can avoid or repeat them in the future. Here are a couple examples:
-Pay your babysitter extra on holidays. She gave up a celebratory night so that you could have one -- reward her accordingly.
-When getting ready to take your child on a long train ride, do a dry run first. Going from Detroit to Chicago and aren't sure if your kids will behave? Treat them to a 20 minute train ride from Pontiac to Royal Oak to acquaint them with the train and get them excited about the idea of a longer trip. And while you're at it, dress them up in conductors outfits (that was truly icing on the cake).
Apparently I should have put these in writing earlier because those are the only two I can think of right now! And now it'll drive me crazy...

And while in Pontiac, go to Pfaff's bakery before going back to Chicago. BEST DONUTS, EVER.
Oh, it sounds like you mean Pontiac, MI instead of Pontiac, IL. Lame!
