Super Wal-Mart and Socrates
I went shopping this evening at a different Super Wal-Mart than the one I normally go to. I really need to get a membership at Sam's, Costco, or BJ's. We have all three around here so I need to go check all of them out to see which one of them I like best. In the meantime, the Super Wal-Mart is really hard to beat as far as prices go. I usually don't like shopping at Wal-Mart because it's always crazy in there...Long lines and way too many people. I had a much better experience in this one, so I think I'm going to go there from now on.
Today was a fun day. I made french toast for the kids for breakfast, went for a brief walk, then we went to church. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for lunch (since I hadn't grocery shopped yet) and then I came home and had a nap (I fell asleep reading). Napping is the best thing ever and something I don't do nearly enough. After my nap I read my super fantasic new book called the Intellectual Devotional. Between this new book, and my Intellectual of Devotional of American History, I have been having the most amazing time reading about so many interesting subjects. It may be old news to some people, but plenty of it is new to me. For example, I didn't know that Socrates never wrote a single book. Everything that is known about him is from second-hand accounts; most notably from his student, Plato. Also, I never knew, or perhaps forgot, that Socrates was sentenced to death for his philosophical ideas. He was convicted for corrupting the minds of his students and forced to drink the poison Hemlock.
Isn't it funny how times have changed?
