Young’s Lobster Pound

No lobster roll today.
Whale watching trip was cancelled due to rain.
Puffin trip cancelled due to lack of puffins.
As solace, I direct you to The Bucket List for 2.
Prepared at Young’s Lobster Pound. Where we passed many a lobster and crab.
And when my number was called, I Rose to receive this menagerie from under the sea (and corn).
It was as good as it looked. And we left a large pile of mussels and clams to a very large family(?) party at a nearby table.
Simple Stoicism
Good post on Stoicism – canion.me I found from a comment on Potatowire’s site
Boiling it down
The easy 1, 2, 3 of stoicism may be presented as:
If you can change it, it doesn’t deserve your worry. Go ahead and make the change. Just do it!
If you can’t change it, it doesn’t deserve your worry. You can’t fix it, so why stress?2
If you worry about it anyway, you are simply inviting it to tyrannise and traumatise you, indefinitely. Rumination is the worst.
