  • Think about classroom achievements, not more sports

  • My advice: Throw the eminent domain case out

    Coda GREG BEAN Even though I give the best advice of anyone I know (I always agree with it and take my own advice), the people who work with me don’t always act on my advice. My kids didn’t always take my advice, and sometimes they even acted in direct opposition to my suggested wisdom.…
