"Four words that can save your marriage"

On 7.22.16 Phish played the Forum. Afterwards, I complained to my wife for an hour about Jukebox Trey. She listened (or pretended to) and then said, "I'm sorry. That sucks!" I felt heard!

I'm a problem-solver, but I've learned to STFU, listen, and say, "I'm sorry. That sucks!" when she has a problem. The ability to vent vent to your partner about life (or awful Phish setlist) and feel heard is the key to a healthy partnership.


"Friends don't make friends miserable"

History is not enough to sustain a friendship. That should be obvious, but I spent years maintaining a friendship with a guy who loved Rush Limbaugh, made racist jokes, and constantly called me "a stupid liberal." He was right; I was stupid to stay friends with someone who made me angry all the time. So a few years ago, I blocked his number and I've been much happier now that I have zero interactions with Eric Clapton.

@NateFederman Are the in honor of former Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge John Minor Wisdom? He’s got my second favorite judge name (after Judge Learned Hand).

Yes, I’m a law dork.
