There are many things I could post this morning: tattoos, piercings, Jack Daniels and Diet Coke, Samuel Adams Winter Ale, but instead I put the lobby of Rachel's at the Sheraton Inn at Syracuse University. Why? To take a break, because you've got to take them when you can.
There's something extremely important about stopping for a couple of seconds and debriefing on the processes of the moment with others who understand, a little, the need for a break.
Just sitting and watching -- listening -- without thinking, has its perks. Of course there's guilt for taking such time out, but it is the time out that helps one take another step forward. Suddenly, I understand CHEERS better. The Clam Bar of North Syracuse makes sense. Chubby's seems practical, and I miss the Irish Rover more than ever.
It is at these moments of time when one can feel much closer to their humanity.
