A still apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

When we were visiting Columbus and went to The Book Loft, they had different music playing in every room. And there are a lot of rooms. With a lot of books. Leslie said it was a little overwhelming. I like it. It's like a maze and - no it's not "like" a maze. It IS a maze. Amazing, even.
Anyway, we went into the "self help" room and Brenda Lee was singing, "I'm Sorry."
That may have been a random thing. I really like to think it was planned. Brilliantly planned.
Not only does the song fit with the genre of the books, but books themselves are a good way to say, "I'm sorry." For example, giving someone a book on being a bully at work is a good way to say, "I'm sorry you're a jackass."

Sara, that's not why I gave you that book on bullying. I just thought you might find it interesting.
