  • Eat whenever you can
  • Pee whenever you can.

That is all.

    I once read an interview with Prince Philip (who I am fascinated by in a totally odd way), and he was asked what he had learned being Prince Consort. His answer: “Always use the bathroom whenever you can, because you never know when you will have another opportunity.”

    These are my exact rules for riding the Greyhound! If I ever get a book published, it’s good to know I’ll be totally prepared.
