I just found out (was reminded) that today is the sixth anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh. I remember the day well: it was a beautiful sunny fall day, much like today was. I worked that day, but went to Squirrel Hill for the vigil that night. When hate comes to your city.

In an interview just now on NBC, the coach of the U.S. women's soccer team, who came on with just eight training sessions before the Olympics began, cited the team's emotional intelligence first among the keys to their success. I just love that. 💕

Why my YouTube channel exists:

"I checked this album out from the Chicago Public Library in 1976 when I was nineteen. I lived in the Viceroy Hotel and after work I would spend hours listening to this parable over and over.

"Forty-eight years later now I still know it by heart.

"Thanks for posting!"
