4 For the Price of 1

Now, hockey fan or not, everyone has some memories of the Sedins. Three, particularly, stick in my mind:

– the slick tic-tac-toe passing between the two of them. They always seemed to know exactly where the other brother was. Maybe, being identical twins, they simply had some special communicative powers that the rest of us don’t have. But it was a delight to watch.

– June 13, 2011, the year of the disappointing Stanley Cup loss to Boston. Game six in Boston, and the twins were being hacked to death with the referees turning a blind eye. The shameful treatment they got from the refs probably cost them their only chance to have a Stanley Cup on their resumes.

– total class, all the time. They were almost too nice. 

The subject line was: A new trip to Machu Poochu. 

It started with a brief description of their new trip to Machu Picchu, where you could bring along your dog; in fact, you could stay home yourself and they would walk your dog for you to the famous ruins. Where it said “Read more” I didn’t bother to click. I knew what the click would say.

Did you succumb to any tricks? I’d be interested to hear your story.

And finally, what should you read? Stuff you agree with or stuff you disagree with?

I’d say both. Besides travelling, broad-based reading is, in my view, one of the best ways to become a well-rounded, accepting, and non-judgemental person. In fact, I think it is a failure to read, or listen to, more than one viewpoint that causes much of the division and hostility in the world.

So it is, that I just finished reading a book that totally contradicts with the beliefs I was brought up with. But it makes me a better person, I think, because I now have a broader perspective, understand better those with contrasting viewpoints, and am challenged to reconsider, perhaps even modify, my own views.

If we all did that from time to time, the world would be a better place.

At least, that’s how I see it . . .
