Ben, 

def current_order?
   session[:order_id]
end

Since the problem only happens on production, I wasn't really getting full 
stack trace information if I let the exception through. That is why I added the 
rescue block in the first place: It sends me all the info with 
ExceptionNotifier. Without the rescue block, eventually what happens is a call 
a property that is nil on the order and that throws an exception, but the 
problem is that the order_id is nill in the first place and it shouldn't be.

Here is what that output looks like:

A RuntimeError occurred in orders#show:

 Expecting to have order, but session doesn't have one
