As you can see, I really did fall into fall. And if that doesn’t take the cake, to top it all off I fell onto my dominant hand. However, this fall is nothing like my falls of days past. Falling into piles of leaves. Falling playing tackle football at pick up coed games with my high school friends. Falling into cold Portage Lake water while loading and launching pontoon boats for my dad at his boat marina. And even falling out of a golf cart and doing a complete somersault in the fairway on Pinehurst No. 2 golf course … I guess I do fall a lot. But it was easier when I was younger … And this fall? This fall I was walking from the kitchen to the living room and caught my foot on the leg of an end table and took a fall that was more like an Olympic dive … So, this column will be short and sweet as I have to complete it before I fall asleep taking pain meds!
