Age is a number, and numbers are math, and I'm no good at math!

When my knees went wonky, I took up dance - and damned if it didn't help! The stronger muscles compensate for the beat-up ligaments... and I've got an excuse to put down the work and go have fun once a week. I'll always have a good word to say for Scottish country dance (my personal choice) but I'd also endorse dancing in general as a great way to shake off the blues, strengthen unreliable joints, and have some fun. Whether it's tai chi, twelve-step, ballroom, bellydance, contra, jazz, Greek, or whatever, dancing is awesome!
