Well, in my ehem, middle age, I'm becoming more & more of a clutz (who would ever have guessed I used to teach ballet!). A couple years ago I had bought a new, really pretty bird feeder to feed my finches and cardinals in the yard. I came home from work the first day it was up and saw 2 squirrels devouring all the seed. So yelling and waving my arms wildly at them, I ran from my car and up our 3 steps on the sidewalk, tripped on the long skirt I was wearing and promptly fell on my face skinning both knees in the process. You guessed it! There were 3 different neighbors out doing yard work and they all saw me fall. So I gathered up my skirts and promptly bowed deeply for them! -- Spirit World
