X MARKS THE SPOT!

Kerplop!

This is the cart I use to transport stuff to and from the kitchen. Handy gadget.

I fell down last evening, and since I am unable to get up on my own, I pushed my emergency call button, and the fire department came out and picked me up.

“Are you hurt?” they asked.

“Only my pride”, said I.

It’s not that my balance is poor -- miserable would be a more apt term. I’m not even sure how it happened. I think maybe my feet were mis-positioned.

I do everything I can to stay, as Eric puts it, vertical. All sorts of little tricks, like keeping my feet spread apart, and leading with my left foot, as well as a few other things. I’m in a program through Stanford University called “Freedom from Falls”. They tell me I should exercise more. I quite agree, but agreeing and doing are two different things.

Enough of this. I have a few other postings lined up for this week that should prove far more interesting. On to something more humorous:
