The Errol Flynn one-handed leap is not for mere mortals like Nathan.

Hurtling towards failure

Nathan should have known better, after all he often has trouble getting his feet high enough off of the ground to climb the front porch steps.

Ouch! Those rose bushes hurt when you land in them face first!

There’s Slivovitz in that cup no doubt.

That’s quite the acute angle Nathan has achieved while dangling over the porch railing. Mind you, it’s not a cute dangle.

Marjorie is not at all sure the Ballet lessons are paying off for Nathan…

In the natural scheme of things, Nathan’s leaping days are well over.

Nathan forgot to clear his pathway for the leap………

Nathan, you come back here right this minute and clean up this mess you made!

Makes me wonder just what was in those drinks/snacks? Whatever Marjorie had laced them with, it made Nathan think he could fly.

Looks like he needs just a little push . :)

Ironically, Nathan had been railing about threats from all sides, especially the state of Health Care. Now, it seems, all three have come together serendipitously…

Lookin’ at the size of that butt, pretty sure a vertical leap is out of the question.

Must’ve been wearing the wrong shoes…

In front of company?????? Well, at least his inserts are holding up. :)

Perhaps a running start?

That’s not even a high railing, Nathan. Next time, stay sitting.
