Dear Humans,

For a while I was always putting a clip on my opened bag of tortilla chips. And it was amazing how fresh and crisp the chips stayed. But then, for some reason, I just stopped clipping the top of the bag. Maybe I lost the clis or I was too lazy to put it back on after I enjoyed my chips and salsa, but I no longer clip my chip bag.

And it turns out that though fresh chips are good, slightly stale chips ain’t too bad either. And the truth is that my bag of tortilla chips is usually gone before they have much time to go stale anyway.

All of our choices have consequences. And while living the good life is mostly about making the better choice most of the time, the good life is also about living with the consequences when we don’t. A lot of life is like eating stale chips and enjoying them anyway.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
