It Never Hurts To Ask

I always heard the phrase as, “You miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take.”  However, in a Google search, it turns out the more popular phrase is, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” by hockey great Wayne Gretzky.  Either way, the sentiment is the same – if you don’t take the risk, you’ll not have the…

In Peace With Goodwill

I’m a man of science.  I’ve had my vaccines.  My parents were people of science.  I had all my childhood vaccines.  That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in the un-seen.  As a child I believed in Santa Claus, and as an adult I believe in a benevolent energy guiding our souls.   Also, I believe in UFOs.  There, I said it. …

Case in point is a chihuahua named ‘Prancer’ who is labeled as unadoptable.  That is, until this brutally honest ad ran online.  No ‘cute’…
