That Time My Wife Got Her Way … and I Was Glad
“Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.”I hit the jackpot. My wife is all of those. However, I am also like most husbands in that I think I am always right.
She puts up with my delusions and still loves me.
She knows how to pick her battles and doesn’t protest every silly thing I say or decision I make. If she did, she’d constantly have a picket sign in her hand marching around the sidewalk in front of our house.
However, a few years ago, she memorably put her foot down and didn’t let me get away with making a silly decision. It was the best thing she could have done because the results of that decision have been life-altering.

Do The Right Thing
From 1923-1930, Bobby Jones won 13 major championships in golf. His record was unmatched until 1973 when it was finally broken by Jack Nicklaus. One time, in a championship match that he was playing in, Jones drove the ball into the woods. As he was looking for the ball, he accidentally nudged it. Although no one saw him move the ball, he penalized himself one stroke (according to the rules), which caused him to lose the match by that margin. Afterward, when reporters praised him for his integrity, he responded that they might as well praise him and congratulate him for not robbing a bank.
