...When you choose to treat time like a commodity, you end up valuing the things you do only as “experiences” to pad a CV. But the alternative is to realize that a gleefully chosen nap is time well-spent, not a guilty pleasure. Three-hour dinners are more important than three-hour finals.

Thorpe wanted to delay, but others were worried that a gay couple would sue the county or that conservatives who had heard the leaks would pre-emptively sue. An exhausted Thorpe finally conceded...
