Did one of those pratfalls this morning...

...reaching for something in the shed, came down with my foot on something round, fell back off the decking into a wire fence and bounced off that onto my ass.

It's one of those ones where you look around and say: "What the hell just happened? And how did I end up on my ass?"

2. Yeah, that too.

Although any pride in my graceful balancing skills has long since evaporated from misuse. I'm a pretty major klutz. :)

5. Oh yeah, I crushed an old wooden gardening wagon on my way to earth

I *know* I would have heard laughter if there were any witnesses.

3. Were you at least alone with no witnesses?

nothing worse than having witnesses. A few years ago I took a terrible tumble on my roller blades. I just wanted to lay there for a few minutes, take a mental inventory of all my body parts etc. Instead I had a nice young kid coming up to me with, "are you OK mister?" The kid's heart was golden, but honestly it was the last thing I wanted.

4. I didn't hear any overt laughter

So I'm pretending there were no witnesses.

8. Thanks Bunny!

:hi:

Since I ricocheted off the wire fence, my ass is good as new. OK, it's good as it was yesterday.
