Bullying and the World Cup
In some fashion I see a thread between this morning’s story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/05/13/when-bullying-is-good-for-kids/?tid=up_next which talks about how bullying turns out to be good for the bully (well, duh) and this other morning’s story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/05/13/brazils-advice-to-world-cup-tourists-dont-scream-when-robbed/?tid=up_next which indicates… Bullying and the World Cup

Philosophy of Life
This morning my wife mentioned that she was going out to Target.
“Did I want anything”, she asked. “What do they sell at Target?”, I wondered aloud.
“Well,” she said, “would you like detergent?”
“What?”, I responded in confusion, “Detergent?”
“Yes”, she said, “Would you like some laundry detergent for your clothes?”
“You know,” I said, “In almost 30 years of marriage, I can honestly say you have never asked me that question before. I have no idea as to if or what detergent I would need. I have never figured out which kind works with what kind of clothes or in what circumstances. I just take the container closest to the washing machine and hope that is the one that would work best.”Philosophy of Life
