well just keep trying. Eventually you will get a Handel on it.

Good times...

I used to live near the WordPerfect founder's estate. We'd always make the trek there to get the full-size candy bars on Halloween!

Just means you've got poor balance!

I read an article in mountain bike magazine probably about 20 years ago about some pro rider that incorporated balancing on the balls part of their daily routine. It improved their skills significantly.

I did it for a while as a novelty, got to the point I could stand up on them until I got bored, and just sorta gave up. It did help in a lot of aspects. And it's a nifty party trick

TIL you can still order printed copies of The World Book encyclopedia (the set my family owned when I was a fledgling still in the nest). The 2022 set is $999 but you can get an older set for under $400.
