So sorry about the crash. Get a flashlight, turn off the other lights and
shine the flashlight around the area to see if there's any shard sparkling.
If so or if not, blot the area with the sticky side of duct tape or masking
tape. I nearly never break anything but when I do, it's a major mess - last
one was a quart of mayonnaise; thought we'd have to tear the kitchen out and
build a new one. Polly
