Dead to Distraction
by Carolyn Arends (Jan/Feb 2018)
I had just flown into Santa Barbara and met up with several colleagues for a working dinner. While others placed their orders with the waiter, our president Chris Hall and I both pulled out our smart phones for a quick email check. I noticed a positive response on a logistical matter we’d been concerned about, so I exclaimed, "Oh, good!" Unfortunately, it wasn’t until a nanosecond after I spoke that I registered what Chris, lost in his own email reverie, had said a nanosecond before I spoke: "Oh no, my friend has passed away."
