When my wife and I were in Vancouver last year, I joked to the concierge of our hotel that we were visiting from the Evil Empire.

He politely demurred, saying he didn’t think the United States was evil, per se.

I’ll bet vanishingly few people in the would push back against that description today.

Remembering when Keeley invited me to a flogging and I demurred to stay home and make burritos.

I've made some stupid decisions in my life.
