The independently owned pharmacy where I have our family’s prescriptions filled stocks gift items, knick knacks, and greeting cards, so sometimes while I’m waiting for a prescription I wander through the aisles, looking. Yesterday I noted a plate emblazoned with an inspirational quote: “Reach for the moon. If you fall short, you may land on a star.”

Wrong. If you fall short, you’ll just burn up on re-entry. And there aren’t any stars short of the moon. Good thing, too.

I am generally a positive thinker, if for no other reason than the fact that I tend to get better results that way, but I have to fault this business of rearranging the universe.
