Went to the Downtown Mall last night for dinner with friends. Along the way I was crossing the street when the Mrs. pointed out that I was walking slowly while a car was coming quickly. Speeding up a bit, I was pushing the limits of my coordination as I was chomping on some Orbit gum. She took this moment to point out that my barn door was open [XYZ]. Trying to be nonchalant, with one hand in my pocket [Alanis], I casually went to close my door when I encountered one of those circular water access points that was embedded into the roadway. I tripped, in one of those uncontrolled moves that sent me crashing towards some parked cars. It was a bit hard to correct the fall, as I had one hand in the pocket and the other one beginning to pull the zipper to its rightful place. Somehow I managed to right myself without falling flat on my face, but it had to look unbelievably funny to the couple in the car, who were driving past me as it happened. Needless to say this wasn't one of my finer moments, but it was fairly funny.
