“If we examine ourselves carefully we shall see most of us have an enormous amount of unfinished business…We have to be free so that we can just step across the line and that’s it. That is what real freedom is.” — Thomas Merton
Beautiful Nail
I’m back home in Tampa for my nephew’s graduation, where I popped into a nail salon for a pedicure. The entire time I was thinking of Anjelah Johnson’s stand-up routine, “Nail Salon,” the video that went viral and brought her the attention she deserves, paving the way for the fabulous Bon Qui Qui. Nearly 31 million have viewed the video but it’s always worth a second (or third or fourth or twentieth) look. Enjoy!

Quote of the Week for May 27
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” — Albert Einstein
Using the Tools at Hand
I know only one way to drive to NYC — I-91 to exit 17 in Connecticut to Route 15. I stay on Route 15 for about 2 hours until I get to Manhattan and then I take a left. If that route’s not available, I’m in trouble. When driving to NYC last week, traffic stopped at Exit 23, with a blinking highway sign saying exits 17 and 18 were closed. Clearly, I had a problem, not the least of which was an important meeting at 2 p.m. that I was now in danger of missing.
