279. EXERCISE MORE -2011 New Year’s Resolution #3
I’m one of those people who feels like I have to get back in shape before I go back to the gym. Kind of like cleaning the house before the cleaning lady comes. But I’ve decided that’s just not going to cut it anymore. I need to crawl out from behind this computer, get out [...]

121. Swim Aqualusion
It’s been a record hot summer this year, and every time the temperature reaches toward 90° I can faintly smell chlorine. As a child I was typically one of the first at the pool, waiting with my feet in the water for the lifeguards to blow their whistles and let the swimming begin. I associate [...]
117. Connecting Your Mind and Body
I have a “love/not-too-fond-of” relationship with exercise. I love the results, but I’m not too fond of what it takes to get there. But a couple of years ago I discovered this quaint pilates studio called Yin Yang Pilates at 5073 Shoreline Road in Lake Barrington. I stopped in to catch up with Laura Cappelletti, [...]
86. Sign Up for Summer GLEE Camp
Ever since the show, Glee, debuted on Fox a year ago, the idea of being in a high school choir has taken on a whole new meaning. Gone are the days of stiff, tuxedo-clad kids singing in unison. Today’s version of the “Glee Club” is hipper, cooler and a whole lot more fun. And that’s [...]
