That cruise must have been amazing! Had no idea it was this plush. Aside from the cabin envy I experienced reading this, the thoughts about this hierarchy were insightful, especially the last sentence.

Really interesting thoughts about this. I come from a long line of professionals; I'm better now at 68. I've discovered a secret that helps me worry less about my son. i don't ask him anything. When I don't know what he is doing or where he is, I do much better. He usually gives us a rundown after events. I started sleeping through the night when he went to college, and I wasn't waiting up until late for the garage door to open. Great article, as always.

but if they have the time and money to do nothing but self-actualize, then they think up silly things like self-actualization. And what's better for mind-freeing creativity than folding all those socks? (Though probably explains why mine never match.)
