Should I be concerned that my fortune cookie fortune tore when I tried to get it at the teachers’ luncheon on Friday? Some might see the Hand of Fate trying to get my attention. I see a dude impatient to read his fortune and tearing it in the process. Hmmm, I could also say that this is just par for the course. Either way, I clearly need to handle “Fortune” with more patience and care in the future. jbb
