WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE DONE WITH YOUR RUN AND REALIZE YOU’RE ONLY HALFWAY THERE

Daily Skimm: Pre-Friday is here:
"REPEAT AFTER ME...

WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE DONE WITH YOUR RUN AND REALIZE YOU’RE ONLY HALFWAY THERE…
Well, that’s super annoying.
Hey, Cuba.
Last month, the US and Cuba announced they were ready to have relations again after more than 50 years of freezing each other out.
And President Obama was REALLY excited about it.
The two governments held talks in Havana last week to hammer out the details.
But then yesterday, Cuban President Raul Castro said he had a few demands that he forgot to mention. 
Small things like, the US fully lifting the trade embargo on Cuba, and compensating the country for millions of damages the embargo has caused. 
And, he wants the US to return its military base at Guantanamo Bay. 
All of which are highly unlikely to happen anytime soon. No word yet on what this could mean for future talks.
Meanwhile, Raul’s big bro Fidel appeared to get into the mix.
Yesterday, he apparently wrote a letter saying that he approved plans to end the longstanding US-Cuba feud, but that he still doesn’t trust Americans.
Great."
