This morning I really had a "flying" fall when I rush into my house to get the garbage as I thought I heard the truck coming.  We have 2 flight of stairs up the second hall from the main hall.  I thought I cleared the steps but apparently it was an illusion and I hit it and went flying a short distance.  It was no laughing matter.

I thought of our pet dog long ago when it used to run into the house and crashed onto the wall beside the stairs.  At times it did the same flying stunt like me this morning when it was getting old.
