Self-revelation and inevitable disaster from the ceiling of a pancake joint. Tom the psychologist goes to a meeting at a pancake house. Inexplicably, he starts a food fight and must be restrained. He leaves his body and floats to the ceiling where he watches his colleagues. His newfound clarity relative to his career spills over into his marriage and other aspects of his life. Peculiar, humorous, enlightening. . . not necessarily in that order.   #13459
