I continue with the 30 minutes of walking, gaining the Heart Association's recommended pulse rate for my age. Indoors, I cannot reach necessary speed because of all the turns so accompaning arm exercises are added. Those are a benefit in themselves.

The new hearing aids and the music directly into my ears make the minutes go by quickly :). Pandora played a newer song by Mark Knopfler early with fitting lyrics for an olde guy and really encouraged keeping up the pace.


Immediately thereafter, an old tune by Bread gave me some gentle strolling music, rest and reflection.


Perhaps I paid a small price to ego when Carly Simon finished my 30 minutes with "You're so Vain."

:D Steve

Mark Knopfler's music is still fine and these accompanying images/paintings are lovely. I need to find our old MK's CDs somewhere in our vast collection and pull the songs to put on a USB drive to listen to in the car.

he has a lot of solo albums now and they are all worth a listen. :) i suspect i got @digitS' listening to him...

as far as exercise in the winter i'm really bad at doing anything inside for exercise, but we've had enough snow events this year so far that i'm getting 30-45 minutes every day or two of exercise and i'm glad for it, fresh air and sometimes even sunshine is out (which is not normal for us here).
