The Slice: Life Is Not Fair

Each December, as the new year approaches, I'm reminded of the time I attended the Tournament of Roses Parade in California. This was for work. It was in the late '90s. That, in itself, is not remarkable. But here's the thing. There are people — female people — in my extended family who are really, really into that particular extravaganza. And yet they have never gotten to witness it in person. On the other hand, it would be fair to say I am less excited about it/Paul Turner, The Slice. More here.

Question: What occasion last prompted you to say: "Life is not fair"?
