Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
MOMA is a good idea. Maybe a treat at a local cafe too.
Last year all the Little League Coaches got a seminar on pre-practice workouts and they emphasized that static stretching was only for cooling off afterwards, that they wanted us to get everybody moving beforehand: run laps, do duck walks and walking leg kicks.

Sorry, unrelated pedantry shout-out.
Which, BTW, I heard a reporter on NPR say "GPS system" yesterday! Oh, NPR. Please don't start talking like I do.

I get my kicks above the waistline Sunshine.
but not at night and not a Friday night.
Oh yeah, that's a really good point.
I had to look up the exact quote because of an LJ entry, and now "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" (from WKRP's Thanksgiving fiasco episode) keeps going through my head.
I hope no one comes in my office as I am giggling to myself.
Yeah, I don't know why but "walking leg kicks" conjures the image to my mind, but it's still not accurate. You're walking and with each step you kick your extended leg as high as you can until it touches your outstretched hand. Regular old kicks just makes me think of side-kicks, or soccer kicking.
Anyway, the effect is like a cross between aerobic Frankenstein and John Cleese. In fact, I called our pre-practice workouts "The Ministry of Silly Walks" and the players duck walked from home to first, then did a side-step crossover to second, then a side ways jumping jack to go from second to third, and the high kicking walk from third to home.

That's fantastic.

Walking kicks doesn't conjure it for you?
New Guy's meeting was to start at 10. He's still at his desk. The other attendees are at their desks too. He has us well trained. I'm not moving before he does. There's no point. I have other stuff to do.
Including this.
