An update on Raymond's quest of life, liberty, and the pursuit of sandwiches.

A most magnificent woman once told me that, "What feels right and what is right often conflict." I can't help but think about what she said these days. I've resolved to do what I think is right. I'd like to think I'm doing it because it's the smart thing to do, but part of me suspects that I'm doing it because I'm afraid. When I first came up with this audacious plan I used to ask myself, "Are you brave enough to do this?" Now that I'm no longer afraid I find myself asking, "Are you stupid enough to do this?" Whatever the reason may be, doing what is right will feel incredibly sucky.
