Introduction I once ran marathons and now I live one. Once I had children and now they have me. When I am in the classroom--wherever it might be--I am always young. Once, I ran long distances but as I aged the distances decreased as the times on the road increase. For some years I moved indoors to e spinning classes and began to practice yoga. My happy baby pose was coming along very nicely. Then came the pandemic. Now I walk daily and sometimes even achieve close to 10,000 steps. And I very much like to study and read.
Favorite Movies I love the Movies. I especially like the first show on an afternoon in a relatively empty theater. I choose to sit exactly in the middle of the auditorium. The lights go down. I experience joy.
Favorite Music I think that depends on the day of the week and the hour of the day!
Favorite Books The book that I am presently reading is always my favorite book. When I finish it I put it on the shelf with past favorite books. Then, I pull down from another shelf the next favorite one.
