I can now tell this story as the statute of limitations has expired. One evening I had just helped Lawrence bus a large table (#38) and was walking towards the kitchen with a large tray of dirty dishes perched over my shoulder. I tripped on a chair leg and a bean bowl started sliding off the tray. While falling to the floor I tried to steady the tray but it was too late. Dirty dishes were falling all around me. I did a slow-motion dance to the floor, still trying to right the tray. I finally wound up on my back, still holding the tray upright with my right hand. I was covered in guacamole, uneaten enchiladas, queso, hot sauce and bean juice and surrounded by broken dishes. The only dish remaining on my tray was that initial bean bowl.
