When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide world was lying on the floor and watching TV. One of the best days ever was when my parents had the downstairs TV Room carpeted. After that, the furniture downstairs was hardly ever used at all. There is just something special about stretching out on the floor to watch television.

Years later when I was getting out of the Navy, the movers came to my apartment in Aiea, HI to pack up my stuff and send it back to the mainland. They came about a week before I was scheduled to fly out so for that last week in Hawaii I slept on the floor of my apartment. No big deal. It will be fun, just like when I was a kid.

Oh what a difference a few years makes!!! I found that my body did not like lying on the floor for extended periods of time. After just a few hours on the floor, I was so stiff I could hardly move. Could I be getting old?!!!! No way!!! But just in case, let's limit the amount of time spent lying on the floor.

These days I don't get on the floor often to watch TV. When I do, this is bound to happen:
