I am one of those kind of guys you definitely want for your golfing tournament foursome. I play so bad, I am guaranteed to make everyone else look like Tiger Woods!
Whoever came up with the concept of the 'Mulligan' (do-over, gimme) clearly understood the positive impact that 2nd chances can have on a person's life, or golf swing. A mulligan is a shot 'retaken' - an opportunity to wipe the slate clean, and improve upon an errant shot.
Have you ever written a blog post that left you speechless and awestruck? Not in a twisted, egotistical way, mind you. But after creating your literary masterpiece, you were quite dumbfounded that such a well-crafted gem could have been conceived in your own mind?
And you thought to yourself, this is MY time. You could feel it in your bones. All the stars and planets came together in perfect alignment. It was YOUR time. Soon, the clouds would part, the angelic choir would descend, and the benevolent bestowment of the ever-illusive twinkling golden star would announce to the whole world,....

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the cruel and inhumane rain gods did not shine upon you that day. Your post was lost in the Dashboard Shuffle, and only garnered a handful of "Great Post!" and "Nice Job!"
Enter the Mulligan.
Here's your chance to resurrect that cherished blog post from the archives of obscurity, subject it to the fate of 2nd Chances, and hopefully gain the notoriety/kudos you know it should have received the first time!

Everyone who submits a link, gets an automatic 200 points. Once a day for the next week, I will 'feature' an article that has been submitted for consideration.
Don't be bashful! Dust off that favored classic post, and claim Your Mulligan today!
(Sorry, Kids...but only one submission per household!)

Rich, Thank you for featuring my mulligan on my experiences working out of a home office. For the first time ever on a post I went over 100 comments. The cool thing was it was something that was close to my heart. I have been so blessed to work out of a home office for over 26 years. Now as young adults my children are happy that I did also.
