I went
to the theater on Sunday. Just before show time the house lights dimmed and the
stage manager announced, “...Please turn off your cell phones.” I’m highly
addicted to my phone. I’m a social media butterfly. My phone is my mobile
office. It’s my third opposable thumb. And yet I did the unthinkable. I turned
off my phone and put it away. There was no one I wanted to text, tweet, or talk
to while I was sitting in the dark enjoying a play I’d bought tickets for. But
not everyone felt that way.

Tae Bo tapes. But when I got an opportunity to take a free Zumba class I
figured why not.
