Default And why is that?

Don't keep up with the sporting world, except skating, so it must be some reference that I am missing. Know about the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs so there may be some of that.

Default Quirky,

Thanks. I thought so too. And so did my husband who sent it over to me when he came across it. Maybe he was hoping I would embody it more when talking with him! Anyway, it's something to strive for and I'm glad you liked it.

My husband printed it out and put it in a sheet protector in a folder he looks at each day. We are now talking about framing a copy and hanging it somewhere where we can see it daily. Maybe that will remind us regularly and it can become more of a habit.
