The Fall, The Stars, and a Husband’s Realization

Omo, I fell while running this morning. How did it happen? It was on a bridge—I kicked a manhole cover and staggered. It happened so slowly that I literally watched myself fall in slow motion. I still can’t believe it. For a second, I saw stars, like a soldier had slapped me, and the bridge vibrated. I sat there for a while, processing what just happened. Then it hit me—I’m somebody’s husband. So I quickly picked myself up and continued the run with style, I guess that my secret ability to keep moving with style.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
