At some point between the London days and now -- probably the point in 2006 at which I lost control of my suitcase and nearly took out a colleague in a Copenhagen commuter train station -- I seem to have lost confidence in my ability to safely negotiate escalators while wrangling luggage. I suspect the progressive glasses don't help with that, either. I'll go out of my way to find elevators instead, or failing that climb the stairs the hard way. Yesterday's trip via MARTA from Peachtree Street to the airport involved a lot of stairs, mostly downward, by the end of which my knee was protesting. Today the knee is right enough, but my calves are stiff and sore.
