Months into the summer, I was expressing to a friend the sudden and uncharacteristic urge I had to wander into a church. โ€œMy ass has done its ten thousand hours of warming a pew and I could care less if I ever heard another sermon. I think I just wanted to feel at home,โ€ I remember saying. He let my statement linger, and after staring pensively into the ceiling, he replied, โ€œBradley, I thought the goal was to feel at home everywhere.โ€

I let that statement linger too.

And while its true that our culture undervalues simplicity, we have more than a few examples in fiction that embody, and even exaggerate, this virtue. Inspector Clouseau, Mr. Magoo, and Mr. Bean, are great examples of what is essentially the same character.
