Can't Touch This

As MC Hammer, a recent guest at Turtle Bay Resort said, “U Really Can’t Touch This”. I’ve learned that lesson so I won’t even try. I’ll just quote from a San Francisco Chronicle article today on the life of Michael J. Fox:

“Leaving acting work – at least as his mainstay – was surprisingly easy, he said. He recalled an epiphany during a trip to Hawaii’s Turtle Bay, where he jumped in the water to see a rare sea turtle swimming near the reef and stayed out long after the rest of his family went back to shore. He noticed an injury on the turtle’s flipper as it made its way around the reef and was struck, he said, by its “survivorhood.”

“I don’t know what kind of symbol the turtle was,” he said, “but I knew there were places to go.”

He got out of the water and told his wife he was quitting. “She said, ‘OK, let’s towel off and go have dinner,’ ” he recalled.

“I quit my day job and found my life’s work.”"
