It's hard, in retrospect, to understand why you did something stupid. I don’tmean the small stuff—ruining your favorite tie because you tried to eat soup inthe car or throwing out your back because you got talked into playing tacklefootball on Thanksgiving. I mean dumb choices in the wake of considerabledeliberation: those times when you identify a real problem in your life, analyze it,and then with utter confidence come up with precisely the wrong answer.
