civility

    just after blogging about the rise of incivility in the present day, i was hit with the ultimate example of civility.  on my morning coffee and newspaper run to our local food market, janssens, i was struck with a fleeting seizure.  not only did kathie, my server, recogniize i was in trouble and call for help, but paula, her supervisor, immediately called 911.  it didn't stop there.  i managed my home phone and paula called my wife who arrived post haste - in tandem with the ambulance.  because sally is a nurse practioner she knew the ambulance staff and they quickly communicated the problem and its resolution - case closed.  oh, one more thing...while i was being examined, paula and jerome delivered my car to our home.  you can't get much more civil than that...and my heartfelt thanks goes out to all involved.
