the best laid plans

What is that saying about the best laid plans going awry...I always think it is "the best laid plans of mice and men..."  nice way to mix-up literary references.   Well whatever it is, the plans have foundered, throwing in a boating reference while I am at it.    Phase I of my plan included my elective surgery overlapping with our ads running, cast off after one week, able to return to my   almost normal self, with small handicap while wound continued to heal over ensuing weeks. Phase II:  Baby Mama  paperwork into atty, arrangements set (even if someone was 8 mos or so), since most likely no one will deliver before Sept 19 or so.   I didn't plan for a born baby or an imminent delivery, it wasn't in my vision.  In retrospect not the most well thought out of plans.

Plan is being re-written as we speak and needless to say, not by us.
