I'm thinking that I've misunderstood something about how to catch an 
Exception. I have these 2 functions: 

(defn catch-exceptions [e this-users-conversation]
  (try 
    (timbre/log :trace (str  "in catch-exceptions our exception was: " e))
    (let [error (:object (ex-data e))
          status (if (:status error)
                   (:status error)
                   500)
          body (if (:body error)
                 (:body error)
                 (str e))
          intent (if (:intent this-users-conversation)
                   (:intent this-users-conversation)
                   "api")
          reply {:message body :status status :intent intent}]
      reply)
    (catch Exception e (println "in catch-exceptions we triggered this 
exception: " e))))

(defn pull-response-from-query [this-users-conversation function-to-call]
  "Formatting exceptions as Peter requested so the iPhone app only needs to 
check the top-level status."
  (try
    (function-to-call this-users-conversation)
    (catch Exception e (catch-exceptions e this-users-conversation))))


Testing in the terminal, and feeding in garbage in a deliberate attempt to 
trigger the exception, I see this line over and over again: 

    (timbre/log :trace (str  "in catch-exceptions our exception was: " e))

but I never get this line: 

      (timbre/log :trace (str  "in catch-exceptions our reply was: " 
reply))    

nor do I ever see: 

"in catch-exceptions we triggered this exception: "

What am I doing wrong?
