Thanks Jack Lalanne!

“People don’t die from old age, but from neglect.” Jack Lalanne, the godfather of fitness, said this over 50 years ago. Couldn’t of said it better myself. More wisdom from Jack taken from his popular TV show during the 1950’s:

Love Poem

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand
and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.

Why a “Freedom from Self-Improvement Day”? (by Jennifer Louden)

Because there is no “secret.”
Because it’s time to challenge the belief that if we “could only” change our

Cowboys are Okay

In Jazzercise class the other day, we sweated to an old country and western song called “Mothers, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.” I decided this premise needs some updating, because frankly cowboys are okay. It’s engineers mothers shouldn’t let their babies grow up to be.
Here’s a skit about a school psychologist [...]
