Smithtown

Beheaded birds raise suspicions at Millers Pond Park BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to those individuals who might be responsible for decapitating six birds found in Smithtown and Great River. The Town of Smithtown’s Public Safety Department received an anonymous phone call Feb. 4 reporting three dead birds were found near the Maple Avenue and 4th Avenue entrance to Millers Pond County Park, according to town spokeswoman Nicole Garguilo. The public safety officers then immediately notified the Suffolk SCPA. Roy Gross, chief of the nonprofit animal advocacy group, said his volunteers working in cooperation with Smithtown park rangers and Suffolk County Police Department found the bodies of two chickens and a blue jay that had been beheaded lying next to a bloodied cardboard box. The following day, Feb. 5, the SCPA received a report of three decapitated birds, two chickens and a dove, left alongside Wheeler Road in Great River. Gross said additional items

left at the site raised questions as to whether the animals’ deaths were ritualistic in nature. “We’ve had numerous cases over the years,” he said. “It has all the indications of a religious animal sacrifice.” The SPCA contacted Marcos Quinones, a retired New York police detective of 36 years

and renowned occult specialist, on these two cases. Quinones said he has worked with law enforcement officials at federal, state and local levels on various causes related to occult matters. “Santeria is a nature-based religion, and it varies based on what god or goddess you worship, each has an element of nature they

are thought to control,” he said. “If you needed something from them, you would do a ritual.” Quinones said based on the location of the six birds’ bodies and items left with them, he believes the birds were killed elsewhere and brought to the pond as a religious offering for Oshun, goddess of the rivers and lakes. “Santeria is basically a good, nature-based religion, but sometimes people take something good and misuse it,” the occult expert said. “You have to ask yourself what’s the purpose of this ritual?” Under New York State law, to kill an animal without any intention to consume it is illegal, according to Gross. “People do these animal sacrifices, and it’s absolutely illegal,” he said. “They will say they are allowed to do it because it’s a religious right. It is not.” In February 2018, the Suffolk SPCA found the bodies of two hens frozen in the ice at Millers Pond. Gross said the chickens’ heads were found a short distance away, but it was originally thought that other animals may have ripped it apart from the body as potential food. “We canvassed the area to see if anyone had BIRDS Continued on A4

Police

Commack custodian stockpiled illegal guns, drugs in home BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County police officers arrested a man who works as an evening custodian for the Commack School District after a search found he had a stash of illegal guns and drugs inside his Patchogue home. Patrick Musumeci, 30, was arrested Feb. 6 by police officers and faces 24 drug- and weapons-related charges. Following an investigation, Suffolk’s 5th Squad Special Operations Team and Emergency Section Service officers along with 5th Precinct Gang Unit officers executed a search warrant on Musumeci’s home on Wilmarth Avenue at approximately 5:35 a.m. In the raid, officers found 16 guns inside the Patchogue home, including one Glock semiautomatic handgun, a Taurus semiautomatic handgun and four assault rifles, with ammunition. Two of the guns, a Smith & Wesson pistol and Ruger pistol had both previously been reported stolen. In addition to the guns, officers seized five sets of brass knuckles and a switchblade. In addition to the weapons, Suffolk County

police officers seized quantities of both prescription opiates and illegal drugs from the Patchogue home. The drugs found included oxycodone, Xanax, concentrated cannabis, marijuana, morphine pills and packaging materials. Musumeci is charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, six counts of criminal possession in the seventh degree, two counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree, criminal possession of marijuana in the fourth degree, five counts criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, four counts criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and one count of grand larceny in the fourth degree. Commack school officials reacted to news of Musumeci’s arrest by posting a letter to district residents on its website. “The district has found no evidence to date that he ever brought a weapon or drugs onto school property,” reads the district’s statement. “To date, we have not found any suspicious activity on school property.”

Prior to being hired, Musumeci was fingerprinted and underwent a background check by New York State, according to the district. He was cleared, and state law would have required the district to be notified of any subsequent arrests, of which they claim to have received none. Commack school officials said the district also has conducted an extensive search of the employee lockers, areas of the buildings the evening custodian was responsible for overseeing and reviewed buildingwide video footage in the wake of the allegations. “The district and its outside security consultant will continue to review its safety and security plans and determine whether or not additional precautions are warranted,” read the district’s statement. Musumeci was arraigned Feb. 7 in 1st District Court in Central Islip. He was Patrick Musumeci. Photo from SCPD ordered held in lieu of $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond, which had not been investigation into the matter is ongoing and the posted as of Feb. 13. district is fully cooperating with the Suffolk Commack school officials said their police department.

BIRDS

Continued from A3 chickens that were lost,” the chief said. “We did a thorough investigation but couldn’t get any information on it.” Gross said twice the SPCA has found a cow’s tongue nailed to a tree across from Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River. Upon further investigation, SPCA volunteers discovered candle wax, pins and nine slips of paper bearing individual names had been inserted inside the cow’s tongue, according to Gross. Another time the cow’s tongue was attached by a fishing lure and left out with a bowl of livestock feed as an offering.

“Imagine if a child had come along and grabbed it or seen something like that,” Gross said. “It’s bad enough for an adult, walking along and seeing a tongue hanging from a tree or a beheaded animal. It’s barbaric and should not exist in this day and age.” If an arrest is made, Gross said the individual will face misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty to wildlife or farm life, which carries a maximum penalty of up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine for each offense. The SPCA is asking anyone who may have information related to the recent discoveries in Smithtown and Great River to contact the nonprofit organization at 631-382-7722. All calls are confidential. “If there’s an arrest and conviction, that’s a check I’m happy to write,” Gross said.

Commack

Hundreds give gift of life in remembrance of Commack officer BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Hundreds lined up and waited to donate blood during the 9th annual Glen Ciano Blood Drive Feb. 9. The event, hosted by the Commack Fire Department and Suffolk County Police Department, is held in honor of a police officer and volunteer firefighter who died in the line of duty 10 years ago this month. Ciano, who served for more than 20 years as a police officer at the 2nd Precinct in Huntington, died while assisting another officer at a traffic stop Feb. 22, 2009. While at the intersection of Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and Commack Road in Commack, his vehicle was struck by a 2007 Dodge Magnum and burst into flames upon hitting a nearby telephone pole. Commack firefighters responded to the scene. Ciano is survived by his wife, Sue, and two children, Samantha and Daniel. “The Suffolk Police Department will never forget Glen and the dedicated service he provided to our communities,” Suffolk Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “Though I didn’t have the honor of working alongside Glen — I’ve heard stories about the type of officer he

was and his presence is missed to this day.” Since 2011, a total of 1,084 donations have been accepted in Ciano’s honor, according to the New York Blood Center. These pints of blood have helped save the lives of more than 3,000 people, Yadira Navarro, business development

manager for the blood center, said. Due to unstable winter temperatures, the flu season and other challenges, blood donations Saturday were vital as the NY Blood Center said it’s in the midst of an emergency blood appeal, according to Navarro. Before the blood drive, the

center’s blood had only enough pints in the storage to get through three to four days of standard operations — a healthy blood supply level is about 6 to 7 days. “You are honoring such a wonderful officer who really served his community and this is one way where we can be a hero and save lives,” Navarro said. Patrick Fazio, commissioner of the Commack Fire Department, said there’s no better way to honor Ciano’s life than donating blood. Smithtown resident Brian Moore who was among the hundreds who showed up Saturday, said giving blood can help so many lives. A total of 234 pints of blood were donated at this year’s event, exceeding last year’s number of donations at 222. “Every year it means a little more,” said Ciano’s wife, Sue. “I see friends, family — I meet new people every year.” Sue Ciano said she stays at the blood drive for the whole day, talking to as many people as she can, and says events like these means her husband won’t be forgotten.

John Kennedy Jr. throws hat in the ring for county executive BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Less than a month ago, Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) was still debating whether he would run this year for Suffolk County executive. On Feb. 11, Kennedy stood shoulder to shoulder with other top Republican leaders to announce his running for the top county office. “None of us forgets who we work for, and that’s the taxpayer,” Kennedy said. “We will stop the hemorrhaging, stop the bleeding. We will cut up the credit cards, start to pay our debts and bring life back to Suffolk County.” Kennedy, along with other Republicans, has been consistent in attacking county Executive Steve Bellone (R) for the current state of the county’s finances, pointing to a drop in bond rating from A3 to Baa1 on the Moody Rating Scale since 2015. In a Jan. 31 article by TBR News Media, Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating has dropped, Kennedy was “overstating” the impact. He went on to say Moody’s, which gives the bond grades to municipalities, was only looking at the past and not the future. Kennedy has called for a 90-day top to bottom look at the county’s offices to see which ones can be pruned, which employees can be

shuffled around and what belts can be tightened. He also called for an end to excessive spending, while cutting county fees and reducing the size of the county’s red light camera program. He said he was especially concerned with delays in payment to public employees and to contractors. “We don’t pay our daycare providers on time, we don’t pay anybody on time,” the comptroller said. “We make them all our bank.” John Jay LaValle, the Suffolk County Republican committee chairman, said during a phone interview the party is throwing its weight behind the current county comptroller. So far two other Republicans have announced their candidacy, including Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). LaValle said former police officer Larry Zacarese, who previously ran for Suffolk County sheriff in 2017, was also considering running on the Republican ticket. The Republican committee chairman said he would ask the current candidates to sit down and work out their differences, saying a primary could do damage to the party’s chance to win. “If we do a primary, we give the executive seat to Bellone,” LaValle said. Kennedy announced his plan to run for office at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge, surrounded by U.S. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford), along with many other elected Republicans. King ran

again for his position alongside Kennedy in the 2018 electoral season. “He ran us all into the ground — I’ve never seen a harder working campaigner,” King said. Trotta said during a phone interview he would be willing to sit down with Kennedy and the Republican leadership, potentially to drop his candidacy if he agrees with what he hears. “I welcome John Kennedy to the race, this is what democracy is all about, and no one knows more than John about what a financial mess the Bellone administration has created,” Trotta said.

Kennedy has worked in public office for years, working with current Brookhaven town supervisor Ed Romaine (R) when he was county clerk before being elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 2004. He then later ran for and was elected to the Suffolk County comptroller position in 2014, boasting at the time he was vastly outspent by his opponent on the campaign trail. Bellone’s office came out the gate swinging as Kennedy’s candidacy was announced. “No one has opposed government reform or voted to increase spending and debt more than John Kennedy,” said Bellone spokesperson Jason Elan in a press release. “Under [Bellone’s] watch, I have seen red light cameras pop up over intersection after intersection, finding new ways to put their hands in their pockets,” Zeldin said during Kennedy’s campaign announcement. Kennedy was also joined by his wife, Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), who is running again this year for re-election. Both husband and wife said partially it took so long for him to announce his candidacy because of the concern one’s campaign fight could affect the other’s. “It was a weighing process for both of us,” Legislator Kennedy said. “It’s about what he can do to make it better here so that everybody can afford to stay.”

Swastika drawn on bike path in Nissequogue River park BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is calling for state police officers to investigate who is behind anti-Semitic graffiti discovered in Nissequogue River State Park. New York State police received a call Feb. 10 from a jogger who discovered a swastika and a hateful white supremacist slogan written in chalk along the bike path in Kings Park. “This abhorrent act of hate is deeply disturbing, especially at a time of great division and in the wake of the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in this nation’s history,” Cuomo said. The governor’s remarks referenced the shooting at The Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in October 2018 that killed 11 people. “The message is deeply troubling to those who live in Kings Park community and all those who continue the fight against hated,” state Sen. John Flanagan (R-Smithtown) said in a statement. “I want to make it clear that all elected officials and community leaders are united in saying that hateful symbols must

Hauppauge, KP wrestlers steal the show at Suffolk championship BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM North Shore wrestlers once again rose to the occasion and racked up some hardware as a result. Thirteen North Shore wrestlers placed first or second, 15 third or fourth and another 13 fifth or sixth at the Division I Suffolk County championships at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood Feb. 9-10. And it was Hauppauge’s junior class that

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you’ll find rustic exteriors and shel-tered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Fr ank Lloyd Wr ight, this style can be house boxy or low-slung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape C od homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straight-edge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rect-angular design and second floor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian’s classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt.

Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Vi ctorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry dene the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian Wi th paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty.

Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing. International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts.

Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Vi ctorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper oors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs.

Opinion

Editorial

Watch the SC executive race

Suffolk County’s newest elected officials have taken their oaths of office in recent weeks, and some are still learning the ropes of their new office. But now, voters need to shrug off any remaining 2018 election season fatigue. County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) formally announced his campaign to take on incumbent County Executive Steve Bellone (D) for the county’s top office. Kennedy already faces a challenge from county Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) who’s made it no secret he wants to take charge, while his fellow Republican party member Larry Zacarese is watching and waiting in the wings. The state’s Jan. 18 voting reform bills have already brought out a wealth of contenders for the 2019 county executive race, as the legislation pushed the state’s primary elections from September up to June. This effectively lengthens the campaign season by three months. For the sake of voters, we hope all candidates will use these additional months to talk about critical issues — not make it an extended political slugfest. This year’s county executive race is critical. Our next leader faces a never-ending series of challenges to ensure this part of Long Island remains a safe, affordable place we’re still proud to call home. The county’s financial status is delicate. One party cries we face fiscal ruin if spending patterns continue while the other claims despite sinking bond ratings, the future will be brighter. Everyone knows taxes are high, wages haven’t kept up with inflation and Suffolk’s cost of living already ranks among the highest in the nation. Our future county executive needs to be ready to tighten down, cut costs and keep life affordable. Key to that will be a successful negotiation of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association’s contract that pays the salary of our police officers. It is one of the biggest pieces of the county’s annual budget and it’s on the table — how much taxpayers dig into their pockets will depend on a successful contract. Not to mention many of the county’s other employee unions need new contracts at reasonable and fair rates as well. Both parties agree that a focus on infrastructure and securing economic growth will help to ensure the area’s future success and stem the “brain drain,” or the droves of the 20- and 30-year-olds leaving Long Island to keep their hopes of the American Dream alive. How to best do it is a matter for debate that should be addressed by all candidates. We’d also like to see promises kept to existing projects, some of which have been decades in the making, such as Wading River-Port Jefferson Rails to Trails and its commitment to help push forward with sewers in Kings Park. A lot of important tasks will fall to whoever wins the 2019 county executive race, so we encourage Suffolk residents to extensively question all candidates and demand concrete answers. Don’t settle for vague promises without a plan for execution. To the candidates, don’t let this dissolve into negative campaigning, name calling and bullying. We expect you to have an open-door policy and intelligent discourse of your future plans, if elected. You are expected to rise to the challenge before you, not mire Suffolk in a cesspool of negativity.

Letters to the editor

We need to unify regardless of belief To everyone who watched the State of the Union address Feb. 5. I’m not going to mention my own political beliefs now. My beliefs are not worth the price of progression for both parties. We need to unify regardless of belief. No matter what your political beliefs are, the speech addressed all of us. Our Republican president, Mr. Donald Trump, has offered his hand to Democrats for negotiation. He has asked both parties to set aside our political agendas and work on uniting ourselves. Republicans, please join Mr. Trump. Offer your hand out to Democrats. Listen to their worries and priorities. And, Democrats, please approach and offer your hand back. Listen to Republicans’ worries and priorities.

Everybody, seize the opportunity to join negotiation. You are only hurting yourself by closing yourself off. If we are going to make changes, no party deserves to be left behind. Prepare for aggravating and vehement debates, but also prepare for change, even if it comes in the form of the smallest step. We must all negotiate in order to make a step — even a small one — together. One step marched with the consent of an entire country is worth more than one million steps marched with the consent of only one party or one sector or one person. The country’s life is currently in our hands. We must never use this speech as a form of attack against either party. If we attack, then we will have squandered the current

gentle environment set before us for negotiation. It’s time for us to step forward and prove that we are not aggressors, especially not toward our own country’s people. We are Americans. We must prioritize the well-being of our country over the well-being of our political party. Don’t hesitate to listen and understand opposing opinions. Most importantly, don’t be afraid of change. Listen. Feel. Think. The last thing we need is political banter. It’s time to come together and negotiate. Even if our efforts only result in one step forward, that step forward will be important enough to shake the world. Gabrielle Pegg 11th grade Newfield High School

Rhetoric flies in the face of Jewish values Recently, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) spent his time attacking Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a series of Twitter posts that received national media coverage. Instead of doing the work he was (narrowly) elected to do by the constituents of NY1, our representative was engaging in Twitter attacks that betray the character of our district, the issues we face and the Jewish values Lee Zeldin claims to stand for. In one of the exchanges on Twitter, Zeldin said the following to Omar: “Those poor innocent Isis fighters and Palestinian terrorists,” as if to characterize this Muslim congresswoman as someone who condones violence, simply by religious association. Zeldin seems to have forgotten that he represents a diverse district and has Muslim constituents who should not be characterized with such hateful rhetoric. For Zeldin to initiate this sort of attack on a colleague that he admits he’s never personally spoken to is a slap in the face to the diverse constituency of NY1. This sort of rhetoric also flies in the face of the Jewish values that Zeldin claims to stand for. While he may take

issue with Omar’s views, as Jews, we are taught to engage in meaningful dialogue. In the Jewish books of the Talmud and Mishnah, there are countless discussions between scholars on passages, with rabbis arguing over the finer points of the law. This is what our faith teaches us, to think, to question, to dissect. Our faith teaches us to welcome the stranger, to respect those who think differently than we do, even when we disagree. When one of only two Jewish House Republicans rejects that intellectual rigor to attack a Muslim colleague, he rejects our Jewish values and does not represent our faith. This entire exchange was not in the best interest of constituents in the district. We are facing serious economic issues. Federal workers are reeling from the recent shutdown and fearing the next deadline to keep the government open. Zeldin voted against reopening the government on numerous bills. He also voted against H.Res.77: Expressing the sense of Congress that financial institutions and other companies should work proactively with their customers affected by the shutdown of the federal government who may be facing short-term financial

hardship and long-term damage to their creditworthiness through no fault of their own. And, he voted against H.Res.79: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that government shutdowns are detrimental to the nation and should not occur. This past shutdown was painful for many constituents in the district and, with these votes, Zeldin is disregarding that deep economic and emotional pain. Additionally, many of us are currently in enormous shock over filing our taxes and owing money for the first time, thanks to the loss of our SALT deductions due to the Trump tax plan. Zeldin has done nothing to attempt to ease this or repeal the tax plan, despite the enormous burden on his constituents. These are challenging times. We need a leader with the intellectual rigor, discipline and morality to lead a diverse constituency. We need a leader who can unite this district rather than divide it. In his rhetoric and votes this past week, Congressman Lee Zeldin has once again shown that he is not qualified to provide that leadership for NY1. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Raising the bar beyond good enough

W

e’ve all had moments when we wonder: Is this good enough? The answer depends, in part, on the importance of the outcome. If we’re a cardiac surgeon and we have our hands inside the chest of someone who needs a new valve or stent, good enough doesn’t cut it. We need to make absolutely sure we’ve done everything we can D. None because no one of the above wants to open up BY DANIEL DUNAIEF someone’s chest a second time to correct a small error or to retrieve something we should have removed. If we’re driving a car on a slippery road, a

turn that’s good enough on a sunny day may not be sufficient in the rain or on ice. We may need to slow down enough that we don’t need to hit the brakes as we head into the turn. Those are, of course, more extreme examples. Fortunately, most of us live in a world where what we do doesn’t seem so critical. We might be writing a paper about Shakespeare, filing legal briefs, collecting receipts for tax purposes or shoveling snow from our driveway. Each of those tasks, in and of themselves, may not seem to require our best because we have better things to do, we want to get through the class, or we’re tired and we need to give ourselves a rest. Nonetheless, the smaller efforts can, and do, add up. When we’re shoveling snow, good enough might miss a slick patch of ice that our wife or best friend might slip on while they’re walking to the car. Going beyond good enough could prevent the discomfort or injury from falling. Even an essay about Shakespeare may

require us to think more deeply about what it means to be in love. Down the road, that might help when we’re considering ways to express our admiration or appreciation of a partner, giving us wisdom and words beyond our years. Great words boost the power of our sentiments, just as the sight of a whale breaching transforms a trip to the beach into a memorable outing. Of course, operating at full strength or beyond good enough for everything may be so physically and mentally draining that we might spend too much time on activities we consider trivial, leaving us with fewer resources to tackle bigger challenges. So, how do we determine the difference between an activity that requires us to be good enough and another responsibility that mandates something more? For starters, we may not be capable of more than a few extraordinary efforts in a day. That may be a product of how much sleep we get, how much we can control in our day or how we

feel, especially if we’re battling a head cold or some chronic condition. Keeping ourselves healthy and making sure we have enough energy can and will give us the ability to vault us over the good-enough threshold. Good enough can become a habit, just like so many other efforts. We can run a mile every other day or we can go a bit farther each time. We may find that good enough for others, or even for former versions of ourselves, is just a start. We may raise the bar for the expectations we set for ourselves to the point where good enough today is so much better than earlier efforts. Routine or even mundane activities likely don’t require perfect performance. Doing them well, or even beyond “good enough,” keeps us sharp and focused for our more important tasks and also sets a good example for our children, who are watching and listening. We can and will improve our lives when we decide to raise our own expectations for good enough.

Three: If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away. (Stephen Hawking) 25. Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option. 26. Be with someone who knows exactly what they have when they have you. 27. Money talks … but all mine ever says is goodbye. 28. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 29. Marriage is like a deck of cards.
