    Carpe diem. That’s good advice: grab an opportunity immediately when you spot it. Don’t wait, make it happen. Even the Romans knew that embracing the moment, wringing everything out of this time, not fretting about the future was the way to live now. Seize the day, as in the new book “Small Town Sins” by
