Cry or Laugh? Take Your Choice


As it turns out, life is anything but predictable.  Things happen.  And not necessarily the way we want them.  So what do we do?

“My sister, Becky, prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party she was giving.  In her haste, however, she forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it sat on the counter all day.  She worried about spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another batch.  She called the local Poison Control Center and voiced her concern.  They advised Becky to boil the sauce again.
That night, the phone rang during dinner, and a guest volunteered to answer it.  Her face dropped as she called out, “It’s the Poison Control Center.  They want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out.”   - Gene Solomon in Reader’s Digest 1994

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
