We came home from the family picnic to discover we'd had a bit of bad luck. A windstorm had come up and caught the umbrella of our new deck furniture and pulled the table over, smashing the glass-top table it was inserted into and leaving little kernels of glass and pieces of the table frame all over the deck.

Although it was a bummer to come home to this, I guess I'd prefer my bad luck to manifest itself in small doses.
