I remember seeing Twice Upon a Time as a kid, probably when it came out, and being riveted by the stop-motion animation (or whatever it’s properly called). Thanks for another great issue, Amy!

Pushups were a thing when I was in the Army (retired in 1995). Perhaps this is the motivation to start again.

For the record, the push-up idea was mine . . . Ha! Great minds! I started on New Year’s Day of 2020 with 1, and stopped increasing at 40 a day . . . And I have gotten my teenage daughter to do them too. It’s a great thing, and a good lesson in the idea of “compounding interest” when it comes to small daily habits. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading about more great ideas. 😊
