Blog Post #325 – Treat an Incident like an Accident
This will be my last blog for the year and I wanted to make this one a little more personal.
Angela and I went out for dinner the other night and a minor incident took place. A large plastic snowflake fell onto one of the tables where, just a few moments earlier, a large family was sitting.

I also mentioned that there were five or six other snowflakes hanging in the restaurant and the same thing could happen to one of them with much direr consequences.
