I left this comment on Ace’s blog yesterday morning, but this excellent (as always, thx bob) Olde Pharts post looks like a good place to repeat it:
164 Hello. Good morning. Spent the weekend at Mom’s. Always relaxing and enjoyable.
Fixing my breakfast, I dropped a blueberry on the floor, onto a highly-patterned rug in front of the sink. Lost in the patterns.
So to look for it, I did what Dad taught me when I was a little kid. I knelt down and put my eye down at the floor level, where the blueberry was easily seen sitting on the carpet in 3D.
What Dad didn’t tell me was, that could be a lot harder to do in my seventh decade.
A couple of the replies:
“Getting down to floor level is tough. Standing up again is even worser”
“Getting down there is not to hard. Getting back up? Now there’s the trick.”
Clearly, this is a shared experience! 😀

You know you’re getting old when you end up on the floor for whatever reason, and you say to yourself, “Now, what else should I do while I’m down here?”
