The Surprising Value of Inconvenience
Dear friends,
One morning last July, while I was eating breakfast with my thirteen-year-old son, Roman, at a little village taverna in southern Greece, he kept complaining about the bees that kept flying over to our table, drawn by the orange juice. “Can’t they stop the bugs from bothering us?” Roman asked, flinching as another insect buzzed past his face.
