Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Hi , Thanks for the chuckle re 'Long Silver'......... I bet you are so glad that your range of characters has broaden........smile.......... And yes I think I am only just beginning to realise how complicated the art of walking really is............ I keep reassuring myself that as I managed it before 2 years old I should have enough brain cells left to master it now............smile.....while I do various imitations that are sometimes a cross between a beached whale and a duck........... The other thing I am finding interesting too is how we perceive we personally are walking as opposed to what others are witnessing............. I think someone else brought this up before when talking about trying to lose the perception of limping even when one isn't anymore....... all facinating stuff about how the brain works.
