You are being too kind. The horse refused to get in the trailer that was to
take it from the pasture to the trainer's compound. Apparently, the horse
didn't want to risk that its stall there wouldn't have a view window.
So, now it roams around the pasture, looking for ground morsels and cursing
the bright sun.
"Hindsight is always 20/20." Although, I think Bob believes his hindsight
is more acute than that.

I was really talking about YOUR business "horse" which hasn't the
nerve to leave the paddock!
It's easy to sit back, watch the world go by, and say you wanted to
do this, or you would have done that. Do SOMETHING, succeed or fail,
and then tell us what's right and what's wrong with some degree of
credibility.
