Now that you’ve been doing your exercises from my Falling Down blog, you’re ready to start dancing. Laugh your way through it. I went to a tap dance show with a friend. Talk about fun childhood memories. The lobby had been set up with a wooden floor 10 ft x 10 ft. and there were […]

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and I’m thinking about Jowls. Surely many of us have them by now. My question is, do your jowls resemble a Turkey, Basset Hound, or Shar-Pei? Take a good look and let me know in comments. Turkey – You’re getting saggy in front of your neck Basset Hound – You’re […]
