I always like to have a backup plan, and more often than not, a backup plan for the backup plan. It has come in handy many times. Especially when something happens like your backup drive fails (good thing I had 2 backups!), or when the horse you were planning on taking to a ride the next week dings up his leg. It's always good to be prepared for when things go wrong. I always like to think that if I prepare for the worst, it won't happen. And then if it does, I'll be prepared. My horse Rocky started out as Plan B. He is currently my highest mileage horse. Then when I got Chief, we called him Plan C. He will soon (knocking on wood) surpass Rocky in mileage and become my highest mileage horse. Not bad for two backup horses! Anyway, I thought this was a pretty appropriate quote.....
“The most successful people are those who are good at plan B.”—James Yorke, mathematician, on chaos theory in The New Scientist
I've gone through the alphabet I think!! So much so that I find it easier to just do things spur of the moment and always be ready for purt near everything!!! Karen B
