The beach was beautiful and Mitch and I had a great vacation day. Blaze is doing well and life is good! But...but...there is something I need help understanding. When I was growing up, I remember knowing a few kids that had Type 1 diabetes and everyone's heart broke for them.

In the later 1990s I found a mentor on that same computer. In a health and fitness chat room, I was fortunate to "meet up" with Gil Roberts, from One on One Pilates in Fresno, California. He was kind enough (thank you again, … [Read more...] about Pilates, the Back Story
