Cameras on everyone\u2019s phones have a side benefit: we occasionally see candid photos of ourselves. We are often surprised at what we see. <\/span><\/p>\n In my case, it\u2019s an old guy with his mouth half open. Apparently, I have a case of \u201cOld-Man-Jaw-Drop Syndrome.\u201d I walk around without realizing my mouth is open. That\u2019s OK when I\u2019m asleep on a bench in the mall or in a seat on an airplane. People expect you to have an open mouth. Everybody does it, but not when they\u2019re walking around or pedaling a bicycle. It makes you look stupid; it\u2019s another one of those old-age things. <\/span><\/p>\n Things drop. I have foot drop in my left foot. It drops when I lift my leg. It would trip me if it weren\u2019t for a little device I wear on my ankle with a strap tied to the lace near my toe; it holds my foot up and keeps me from tripping. A lifesaver for twenty-five bucks. <\/span><\/p>\n
