Welcome to the Wrinkle Dome I’ve been noticing that a lot of sports stadiums are being torn down these days because they’re too small or whatever. And that got me to thinking that before they tear down an old domed stadium, I’d like them to consider turning it into a seniors’ home. A lot of them have an attached hotel,
which would be an ideal residence section. There’s certainly plenty of seating. Plus you have built-in walker access to a whole bunch of snack bars and even more bathrooms. Pull up the football field, and lay down a nine-hole golf course. Set the thermostat on high, and you’ve got Florida without the fire ants. And plenty of parking

Nothing succeeds like failure While you’re growing up and going to school, a great deal of emphasis is put on success. For you to have success at whatever you try is presented as the most pivotal aspect of your life. I disagree. I don’t think success is
nearly as important as failure. I don’t mean total failure where you lose everything and live in a cardboard box under a bridge. I’m talking about manageable failure: being temporarily out of work or losing the car keys or buying something you saw on TV that’s “not available in stores”. Now don’t get me wrong. Success is
good, but it doesn’t happen to most of us. If it did, they’d change it. So rather than spending your life
feeling bad because you never achieved
success, I think for us normal people it’s better to spend our lives feeling confident that we can manage failure. So take some harmless challenge
and fail at it, and then get over it and get on with your life. Over time you’ll get to where you’re not afraid of failing and might even have a fluke success. At the very least, you’ll be a happy
failure and will certainly give your friends a lot of laughs.
