When you do a search on the internet for quotes regarding plans and planning, you come up with quite a few.  Not just the well known ones (like the one referenced in the title of this entry) but one’s like Mike Tyson’s quote, “Everyone has a plan – until they get punched in the face.”  Or this from Ben Bayol (whoever he is), “Most plans are just inaccurate predictions.”  Plans are, depending who you talk to, either necessary, ridiculous, or fruitless.  All I know for sure is they oftentimes do go astray.

As I write this, Steve is stuck in Dallas/Fort Worth and won’t be able to get a flight into Milwaukee until tomorrow morning.  So even though my order for great weather was filled here in Wisconsin, apparently the same is not so for the Southwest.  Tornadoes, hail, bad, nasty weather in general.

Our best laid plan has gone astray.  But not to worry.  We’ll just start a little later in the day and folks will get a chance to sleep in.  That’s the plan now.  But do I dare even call it a plan?  Am I cursing it by the very labeling of it?  <shrug>  Who knows.  I guess we’ll just play it by ear and hope for the best.  That’s about all we can do at this point.
