2006: Scene 1, Take 1

Here's how my new year started:

I slipped and fell on the ice outside of my apartment because I was distracted by a flock of crows looking suspiciously my way. The fall created a small hole in my pants, which I didn't notice until I was at work. While at work, I further hurt my already scratched knee, twisting it as I tried to move a table four times my size. Later at work, I walked straight into the elevator door. The door was closing, I put my hand out to reverse it, looked away thinking the door was now opening as slammed right into it. Cindee (our receptionist at work) had a good laugh at my expense.

"CUT!"

2006 is off to a rather inauspicious start. I want a mulligan.
