There were more tears than planned on the 170th day of 2017. I walked into a morning meeting on 6/19/17 and my colleagues seemed upset (and I do not think it was because I was 9 minutes late). Later in the day, I found out why. This past weekend, our good friend and colleague Rick Magee passed away. Rick was, as I said on a friend's page, simply the nicest person who worked at Penn. And the fact that he was extremely competent just made it even better to work with him. We are all better for having known him. So, I was driving home, in the rain storm, pretty maudlin, and this song came on the Beatles Station (I am loving Beatles Radio on Sirrius XM!) And, the guest DJ who announced it said it was one of her favorites because it brings her to tears. And, you know what, it brought me to tears too. I guess you can say it is sometimes a good thing to be inspired to have a good cry. And that was my inspiration tonight, I DID have a good cry. And there is nothing wrong with that! Be it about worries, work stress, politics, a relationship, someone who has passed, or just because you need one, I think we should all be inspired to have a good cry once and a while.
