Lessons in lentils and humility

Tuesday, October 27. 2009

So…yeah…my agent calls me during lunch yesterday. You know, the agent who’s representing my novel to the major New York publishing houses. Anyway, I fear I was a bit short with her. You see I made some lentil soup over night—14 hours in the crock pot mind you—and the lentils were surprisingly tough when I ate them for lunch. The recipe didn’t say anything about soaking them before hand. I blame myself. I should know better. How many times have I advised others to soak their lentils? How is it that the thought-leader disavows his own advice? The answer, I fear, is hubris.

When things don’t go my way I lash out at others.
