Move: Feb. 2013

It's All Fun & Games.....

Remember the last time you called up your friend and asked, "Hey...can you play?"  Say something like that nowadays and you might get more than a few strange looks.  But growing up, this was a routine that kept my friends and I young, fun, and fit....

We'd ride bikes, look for snakes in the sewer pipes (ok, they would...I was a bit squeamish with reptiles), "play catch", home run derby, running bases, knock-out, ghost in the graveyard, kill the carrier, man hunt, "touch" football,....and many many more games that would keep us busy, our hearts racing, our bodies burning up energy....and our spirits full.  There was never real worry about sedentary lifestyle, over demanding school work (we weren't allowed to "play" until the homework was done) or childhood obesity...we just simply MOVED, and we had fun!

Think you're too old to "play".....maybe it's time to think again....check out this video of some of my favorite friends "playing" nice.  Spring is coming...time to get moving!
