Michael Brown prompted the wheels to turn last night.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round.
“The thing is, I could choose to replace the tape with a new one.”
But what tape is playing?
And what tape will be playing?
The Good Enough tune?
The Patience beat?
The Acceptance rap?
The Gratitude melody?
Or does a sharp gust of wind blow it over.
And scramble it all up.
Y. That perfect letter. The wishbone, fork in the road, empty wineglass. The question we ask over and over.

January, 2000. It’s an unseasonably steamy day in Miami. My sales manager comes into my office and asks for a few minutes. “Keep an open mind,” he says. “I think there’s something here…I think.” And he pauses. I note his discomfort. Hmmm. Highly unusual. (This coming from someone that even today, more than 10 years later, I consider to be one of the brightest, most confident and most effective sales managers that has worked for me.)
