at times your head must rule your heart. Nina Simone, were she still with us, would be turning 88 today, and even though she isn’t here to celebrate - or maybe because - I walked to my favorite bakery to buy a slice of cake to eat in her honor. They didn’t have any cake, because of course they didn’t. The sun may be shining today and I may have had to put on shorts to go outside, but we are not far removed from the inhospitable nightmare that my hometown had been just days ago. There is still ice in the gutters and those of us that are lucky enough to have water still must boil it.
