   Steve’s Rule: Only pessimists are happy. Optimists always expect the best. Pessimists expect the worst. For optimists, the only two possible outcomes are exactly what they planned for, or something worse. For pessimists, the only two possible outcomes are exactly what they planned for, or something better. Thus, pessimists live happier lives than optimists!

   Always allow for surprises? Life is a cascade of surprises! :o)

   Always loved the theme song for Mel Brooks’ “The Twelve Chairs” … “Hope for the best, expect the worst! …”
