In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom. Gerry's friend laughs at him and reminds Gerry that he had told him weeks ago that the affair would end without Gerry having to do anything. Gerry's friend asks him, "Do you want my opinion?"

Our Fate is in Our Own Hands
A few years ago a friend had Ned, a small independent contractor, do extensive renovations to his home. Being a very fussy craftsman and cabinet maker, Ned did an especially superb job on the extensive woodwork involved in the renovation. About a year after completing the renovations, Ned bumped into my friend at the local hardware store. "The recession finally caught up to me," Ned told my friend.
