'...In a blur, I rushed over....'

---------

BS Flag!

I've met you. You are incapable rushing anywhere at blur.

^Hah!!!

You'd be surprised.

As a matter of fact, I have been surprised at my own agility in some situations.

I once fell down a flight of steps holding a beer glass........didn't spill a drop.

You should see me when I fight ninjas!!!!!

Still (as Tonya Harding would say) spectacle.

I have always moved slow.......for a reason. I like to be deliberate and have found that slowing down physical movement allows you to achieve some degree of clarity.

It is for this reason that sometimes I surprise people.

Once, at a party, I was sitting on a couch.

I saw a dude getting beer and I said, "Hey..toss me one".

He threw it hard. At the LAST millisecond I lifted my arm and snatched it out of mid air....JUST before it crashed into the wall behind me.

I nonchalantly popped the can and took a sip.

I was so impressed with myself I tried the same stunt several beers later.

That time resulted in a big hole in the wall that required some spackling repairs.

Andrew,I was close to your daughters age,went looking for my mama,who was downstairs doing laundry....Walking down basement steps w my favorite blanky..... Tripped over my blank,head first between railing,and side framing of steps...........Headed ,head first to concrete floor,we had two penny nails sticking out of framing for steps to hang misc .......... Almost ripped my gut open on one of the nails,did a nice job breaking skin................ Mama turned around just in time and caught me by one ankle, before my head hit concrete floor....... Could have really turned out fugly.........One of those tramatic things that stick in the mind vividly......
