just wondering why my fitness app
is willing to measure
pole dancing but not pole vaulting
both involve strength and flying.

i can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.”

I love Dolly’s self deprecating sense of humor and I love Elvis’s too esp when he parodies himself in ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight?’ ; self deprecation: the highest and most generous form of humor:

I can do a little tap dance while computing. And swiveling in my chair must be good for the waist line. ;)

From the south pole to the north pole, … there’s definitely a lot of pole dancing and pole vaulting from one pole to the other pole

Love this observation…lol. I noticed this week that snow shoveling is not on my fitness app but snow sports are. Think anyone will know I wasn’t skiing in my driveway? :D

Seeing my wife standing next to Dolly was amazing. Laura is 5’2″ and was taller. I think Dolly is 4’11”. When she has her big hair on, she might be taller than me.

Google says she’s 5′ tall. I never realized she was that short. I was 5’8″ and a hair at my tallest. Now I barely make 5’7″. At least I’m still vertical.

I’ve always admired pole vaulters. It looks like such a challenging sport.

Didn’t know she was so short…her big personality makes up for any inches. Pole vaulting…sigh…yeah, no, I’m better off on the ground. Never wanted to fly through the air over a stick. Never.

I have no idea how pole vaulters do their thing, because I often envision what it must be like to go through the initial how-to-do-it process. There has to be some very hard “lessons” before one gets good at it.
