The water's fine. C'mon in. Just for a minute. A one-minute vacation. A good Way to start a Sunday. A good Way to think about our oceans. Press Play and you're in.
Sunny, with a chance of Vitamin D
What a deal. Sunlight's free and you don't even have to strap a solar panel to your back to use it. Just take off your shirt. Or your pants. Because your skin synthesizes Vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight. Oh, by the Way, you're probably Vitamin D-deficient.
Movin’ Groovin’ Monday: Down South
While I was in the kitchen stirring grits and pulling pork for this week's recipes, my toes were tapping and my hips were shaking to these all-time great dance tunes made in Memphis. If getting motivated to exercise is a problem, here's my solution: music you can't not dance to.
