You may remember that I follow the NY Rangers and never give up on them. I'm happy to report the quest for the Stanley Cup remains alive as the New York Rangers head to the Eastern conference final. It seemed almost impossible a few days ago ... but as they say .. It's not over until it's over. Wednesday Game 7 at the Garden went into overtime ... the Rangers winning. The Rangers also did something no NHL team has ever done. They are the first team to ever win the series in back-to-back years after being down three games to one.
The Rangers and the Washington Capitals had battled for six games - each one decided by a single goal - and well into overtime Wednesday night in Game 7 of their memorable second-round playoff series. What separated the teams at Madison Square Garden was a stunning six-second sequence. Read more NY Times

We've been following this story in the news. Really tragic.
2015 Philadelphia Train Derailment
Mercury Retrograde always starts early for me. Take for example the client who showed up yesterday at 12:00 ... 2 days early for her appointment. She drove here from Queens ... looked for a parking spot ... and wondered was she could park anywhere - no alternate parking. Suddenly she realized it wasn't Friday, it was Wednesday. She called me from her car and asked if by chance I could see here ... luckily I could. Time and perception are becoming more and more elusive. I told her to come up 30 minutes later because I felt that something was going to happen that needed my attention. She agreed and went to have lunch at the coffee shop on the corner thanking me as she parked.
So what was Ellie sensing? No sooner did we hang up when the UPS guy arrived with a package. Inside was supposed to be the canvas hobo bag above that I had ordered for my trip. The original order was Sunday ... receiving it Monday in the wrong colors then reordering it for a Wednesday delivery. As the UPS guy arrived I had this funny feeling that something was wrong again. I opened the box telling him I had a feeling he'd be back on Thursday as again the order felt wrong. He'll be back today.

Two Unarmed Men Held in Temple Israel Incident Westport Now - May 12, 2015
Two unarmed men apparently intent on protesting and disrupting a luncheon today at Westport's Temple Israel for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were detained by staff at the door and held for police, police and temple officials said. Some luncheon attendees fled in panic. One of the suspects, who were reportedly shouting about Palestinian rights, was initially thought to have a gun since he had a shirt over his arm. Nearby Coleytown Middle and Elementary Schools as well as the temple's nursery school and the pre-school at the Unitarian Chuch were placed on lockdown for about 45 minutes because of the incident, he said. Parents at Bedford Middle School said that school was also put on lockdown. Early Wednesday following their release, both men issued a news release to media saying they were two Jewish anti-apartheid activists from New Haven protesting a talk by a brigadier general in the IDF. They said they were attempting to read testimony by a Palestinian woman whose son was killed in Gaza during a 2009 Israeli military operation and who had to flee her home with the rest of her family during the 2014 Israeli action in Palestine ...
