The Moral Implications of Having Someone Else Do Your Laundry

Am I supposed to just walk by and pretend this isn't happening?

Over the past two and a half weeks I’ve been back and forth between New York and Massachusetts, for some good reasons, and some not so good. In the past 16 days, I’ve gone from Boston, to Highland Falls, to Babylon, to Center Moriches, back to Boston, then to New York City, back to Boston again, then Boston to Center Moriches and back…twice.

Last week I headed to NYC and New Haven for some great college bball games. My dad and I saw the first day of Big East conference tournament play – watching the future champs UConn wipe out DePaul, Rutgers top Seton Hall in overtime, USF beat ‘Nova on a last second shot and Marquette trounce Providence (which later led to the demise of Keno Davis at PC; word of the day: demise).
