Coach gets his buttons pushed and pushes back I’ve been thinking all day about a facebook thread I read this morning. It is a great case study. The volleyball coach made a substitution. The substitute promptly served into the net. The player who had been subbed for said, “seriously” and the coach heard her. She […]

We just have to ask I was talking with my friend today. He’s a travel writer. When he travels he asks the hotels for complimentary lodging (because he’s a travel writer). Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say no. But if he didn’t ask then it would always be a no. Saturday while I was […]

Legal rights and self-condemnation Imagine that we have to go get a permit anytime we want to change ourselves and that the permitting process happens court room style.
