The quote I chalked today is from Rudyard Kipling.
It is timeless because most people overreact to both victory and defeat. They let success make them arrogant and failure make them quit. Kipling’s point is that both are temporary and that both can lie to you.
Triumph tells you: You are untouchable.
Disaster tells you: You are finished.
Most of the time neither one is true.
Like Don Shepley always reminded me…
…The same world that gives you a standing ovation will quickly turn around and kick you in the ass.
Today is National Hamburger Day.
My best memories of a hamburger are with my Oldman.
The Wabash Inn hamburger served with a tulip. The Gossage Grill hamburger served with hashbrowns and a cup of black coffee. Goldyburgers with a hot bowl of their great soups and a cold bottle of Old Style.
Though the best hamburger in my humble opinion will always be at the BillyGoat. My first visit was with my father when I was too short to climb a bar stool.
Since then…. I have brought my buddies, third dates, out of town friends and the Shepkids.
Enjoy your favorite hamburger today…
