Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Thanks, Holly! More MP-ish running for me this week. Enjoy your vacation time! I'm willing to try doing the weekly tally ...
