Over the life of my career (as a lawyer, not in food service, music or equine-related ventures), I have seen accounts of many unfortunate events. This experience has left me with a kind of perverse relief that I have thus far avoided fates similar to those bringing lawsuits against my clients, or whose stories I have read in the medico-legal literature.
Among the things for which I am thankful is that I have not fallen down in front of an audience of interested bystanders at the grocery store, in the parking lot, or en route to the root canal. Okay, a long time ago, I went roller skating at an indoor rink. The management made me replace the hardware in my roller blades, so as not to scratch the highly waxed wooden floor. I didn’t do it right, and went splat in full view of a few dozen people. I hoped they were distracted by the mirror ball.
