Aug. 28—I am clumsy. No one has ever called me graceful, for obvious reasons. Just this week, I fell off my platform shoes while standing still and twisted my ankle. While that takes real talent, it's not a skill I am proud of. To make matters worse, this was not the first time this has happened. I fell off a pair of high heels I had "borrowed" from my mother's closet when I was in high school and spent a week on crutches.
