I was told I walked the edge of a 15 foot wall on Nashville's Elliston Place, fell off and landed flat on the top of my head. People thought I was dead so called the cops. A nearby friend in the Vanderbilt University Police heard that on his radio came and found me still alive and intact so took me home after answering questions like "How many fingers am I holding up?" "Thursday."

That was a flat-out miracle to survive that without lasting injury after such foolishness. We must count our blessings and never dwell on the negative.

I left a glass of water on a book shelf last night later getting ready for bed i heard a noise the Cat had knocked it over I forgot that there had been water in it and hustled out to grab it not realizing the tiled floor was wet. I went down fortunately my big butt saved me, pretty sore today but nothing broken. Lucky I didn’t break a hip or crack my head. 2nd fall this year I really need to watch out. Getting old sucks.
