If you find yourself asking, do I need a ladder, am I to old to stand on this chair or couch?

Get the ladder!!!!!

Years ago I thought I can stand on the couch to take down Christmas decorations.

I fell and was lucky to not be injured. As I fell, I was thinking, is this how I'm going to die?

I'm old, but faced with the possibility of dying before I felt I was ready, made me angry and fearful of being injured bad enough to be an invalid the rest of my life, if I lived.

So be careful during the holidays.

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year, every one, even uncle cookie monster, and the mad colonel.
