Never count your chickens before they hatch. Period.
Everyone should live by this rule. In business. When playing MegaMillions (ok, so maybe I spent a little of the 340 mil this weekend in my mind). And especially in sports.
This past weekend a young man who is very special to us (understatement) was fortunate enough to be on the other side of the chicken counting. His HS basketball team went into the state finals against an undefeated team in their division. This very cocky opponent team came into the semi-finals 28-0.

Congrats to young Mike and his team.
A fairy tail ending, for sure
Nice one. I so love it when an uppity bunch of wankers get what’s coming to them!
WOW. COOL. Someone played their A-Game. “AWESOME” from m & m
