Adventures with falling glass.

When you're ready come be with me

There’s a story behind this picture.

The other day we were in downtown L.A. My son Nathaniel and I were walking on the sidewalk under these windows when someone threw a glass bottle out a window and it crashed into pieces just ahead of where we were. A woman across the street (where this pic was taken from) started yelling "Hey man don’t be throwing stuff out the window! There are people down here!" etc. Nathaniel and I considered inching along close to the building to get past the spot where more bottles might come crashing down but instead just jaywalked across the street.

The woman was still yelling at the guy and he poked his head out the window. I tried to snap a picture of him but when he saw my camera he ducked back inside.

Sometimes I want to tell people, "Don’t worry, the picture will be all blurry."

The woman kept talking. She said, "You could kill someone doing that! I seen it happen before. Right on this street a couple weeks ago!"

    I’m so glad you were not a victim of the falling glass!

    With all of your adventures, it really is quite amazing you are still alive today.

    Life is both more fragile and more sturdy than we think.

    Sounds like a good cross-stitch sampler…
