While it has its moments of obnoxiousness, in general I'm rejoicing over this NYT article (random login generator, needs JS) about a 240-pound woman becoming a Jazzercise instructor. See also lirrin's snippet from Reader's Digest this morning.

At least the aphids are running away and I can manually squish them in their flight.
