Posted in Aging, Beauty, Exercise, Health, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , , , , , , on May 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]

Bartendaz. Can you Hang?

I went up to Harlem yesterday and saw something amazing: The Bartendaz.  These guys do things on a pull up bar you’ve never seen before. The strength is amazing, the camaraderie infectious, the feats: totally unbelievable. The Bartnedaz are a group of the buffest, toughest looking guys you’ll ever see…who also happen to be all [...]

Yes, it’s true – I’ve been gone a while. Why? Oh — I don’t know.  Maybe it’s the VIRULENT stomach flu coursing through my entire family. Even the dog threw up.  Seriously.
