Why am I standing like my childhood hero Paul Bunyan? I read Gertie's post this morning about improving one's posture, which hit home for me. I'm a slouchy lady in most of my activities. I also read one of the links to her blog, Michael Hanko's Science of Singing, which bemoaned the way so many young women stand in a way to minimize themselves (crossing ankles, pigeon toed) or in very high heels. Guilty of all of that. I am not likely to give up heels completely, but I do want to be more cognizant about my posture.
Blokey and I are headed south of the Mason-Dixon line to visit my parents and my awesome sister.* We managed to pack enough for the next 5 days in a small duffel and a carry-on (the duffel mostly holds shoes. Men's shoes are really big). As usual, when I travel, I like to wear head to toe jersey. I have a pair of tights and socks in my purse for security and when it gets cold on the train.
We were very sorry to say good bye to Buster, whom we took uptown last night to his kitten-sitter's apartment. He really held his own against the less hostile adult cats in the apartment. Everyone was very impressed.
Have a great Wednesday, blogging community.
