Yesterday afternoon, an incident occurred near my work desk that made me realize the importance of post-traumatic therapy. While not excessively traumatic, it took me some time to grasp the impact of what I witnessed. I didn't recognize the signs of someone about to have an epileptic fit.

Exceeding the Possibilities
This mornings train ride was most interesting and enlightening. Particularly as I was reading Jack Welch's book on leadership. But moreso because of the phone conversation I heard behind me.
