Relief

May Nazareno, before I left for Moscow, sat me down and gave me "the business." In my family, "the business" means a good talking to. May's and my conversation was a good talking to in that she read me. She read me like any good friend should read another friend: "Joe Pindelski: you are someone who doesn't rest until everything is in its place."

May has an innate ability.

Tonight, things fell into place. All of my gripes, all of my unease can now be put to rest. I have my summer figured out. Life is a little more planned.

Tonight I also got to catch up with Davey Ritchey. One of the sweetest men I know who randomly happened to be in Moscow -- as a part of Inglebert Humperdink's band. Random, definitely ... but lovely.

Tonight, I shall sleep well.
