    While it's not as bad as stepping on a blind man's hand or accidentally punching a guy in the goolies, I was THISCLOSE to now harming the senior community. I have these happy/sad balls that I use for Pocket Science (insert own joke here). Today while bouncing the happy ball very high, the lights above came on bright and I lost sight of the ball. It careened off my hand and missed hitting this old lady in the head by an inch at best. As I chased the ball to keep it from going all the way down the escalators I heard her say "What was that?"

    Whoops.

    Oh well, no major incidents to report about today. No bodily harm inflicted on any guests, although I almost told a kid to shut the hell up.
