 Take a chance!

Push your Luck!
Just Getting up every morning and doing your routine is risky business.
Todays quote could be in a locker room tunnel. In a weight room. On one of those cheap signs they sell at Hobby Lobby.
The ice covered sidewalk between my front door and my truck was hazardous to walk on this morning….. Risky!?!
Risk is driving your car and trusting the guy driving in the other lane won’t hit you. You don’t know who that guy is… he’s a stranger.
But everyday we take risk by trusting strangers.
Risk is heroic when Jim McMahon is running into the end zone knowing he’s going to get helicoptered by three defenders.
Risk is romantic when Julia Roberts is running in a hurricane chasing a cab with a heartbroken Mathew McConaughey in it.
I’m not the Punky QB or a handsome actor.
I’m just a divorced dad trying to raise my kids so they can take chances and risk heartbreak or broken bones.
I’m just a Board of Trade guy taking risk with every order I fill. If I fat finger an extra zero on my keyboard it will cost a bunch more zeros!
Those hand signals in the trading pit were so much easier than the platform on my computer.
Rainy Fridays bring cold weekends…. Memorial Day will be here before we know it!
