Will’s Thoughts – Age Does Funny Things To People. Age changes us. Take Minnie Changes and I. When we first met, she’d all but curled into a fetal position and shut out the world.

Zumba Classes Recently, my daughter Cindy registered me for a class in “Zumba” (an exercise done to Latin music) as a Christmas gift. Apparently, I don’t get enough exercise to suit her.
