Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"Do You Want To Know A Secret"

Interested in doing the Big Climb with Team "I Got A Fever?" I have two secrets for you this AM. One is a song, another a tip. I chose to get back in the water this morning, walked in the shallow end for about 45 minutes and it felt similar to climbing stairs. The intensity and effort is totally up to the individual, I got a sweat going, (due in part because but I had to try to show off to the people I used to swim with including Yvonne!)
  
I found this from a fitness magazine: 1. Another way to pump up a workout is to walk in the shallow end of a pool. The water’s buoyancy will support your weight; reduce stress on your bones, muscles and joints; and provide resistance as you move. Here are some other water based ideas including photos: http://www.mc.edu/aquatics/exercises.html
 
John Lennon and the Beatles wrote Do You Want To Know A Secret in 1963, sold it to Billy J Kramer (with the Dakotas) who released it in England charting all the way to #2, and #1 in an often used European chart. The Beatles version came out in 1964 going to #1 as well. Happy Monday- back to work for me. 
 
1963 was so long ago...
