There are times in everyone’s life when a confluence of events intercedes with their predisposed intentions. As the poet Robert Burns once famously said… “The best laid schemes of mice and men oft go awry.” Take my own best laid plans (for example) to enjoy some much needed time away with my family in the Caribbean this past week. Oh, the vacation itself went well… it’s just that when I scheduled it months ago, I completely forgot about factoring in the NBA Finals…
Or did I?
Granted, the deal was great, and fit perfectly into the constraints of a summer schedule made more complex with my oldest kid soon to be leaving for an out-of-state college… but in hindsight, I couldn’t help but think my subconscious played a role in blocking out this particular stretch in early June.
