On ice cream and trying new things

I'm not a person who revels in trying new things. It has been my experience that new things inevitably disappoint. I like to stay the course, take the road most traveled, not change horses midstream, not rock the boat. But yesterday I did just that. I veered off course, took the road less traveled, I changed horses midstream (actually, it might have been a mule), and I rocked the boat. At the grocery store, when John and I were picking out ice cream, I chose the new limited batch Ben & Jerry's American Pie. And it has made all the difference. Maybe instead of assuming that new things will disappoint me, I have to acknowledge that anything with the word "pie" in it can't be all bad...
