[He Said] Some things you just can't teach

I recently, with the help of my lovely wife, hung some framed documents in our home office.  The nature of these papers (diplomas and such) would seem to suggest that Jen and I are educated people.  You might, however, have reason to doubt that education if you saw the process of these things being hung...

I nearly killed myself--standing on the back of the couch and balancing on the tips of my toes--stretching to reach inches from the ceiling while using a hammer, tape measure, etc.  It was ridiculous...  With my arms flapping like a bird to keep balance, I looked like a high-wire performer attempting to cross between two downtown  skyscrapers in violent winds... good grief...

Fear not! I finally saw the error of my ways (after flailing about for about twenty ten minutes), moved the couch, got a ladder, and did it right.  There was no harm done, except to my ego upon realizing that Spider-Man does in fact have skills that I do not.
