Fit and Fidgeting

I always drive Helen crazy with my fidgeting about.   I never really sit still, which first became a problem at church years ago when they made the kids sit through the entire service.   Now I always fear that I am being rude at the movies or a play.

But it turns out that this is just a sign of my incredible health.  As reported in the Times on Friday ("The Fit Tend to Fidget, and Biology May be Why"):

"Overweight people have a tendency to sit, while lean ones have trouble holding still and spend two hours more a day on their feet, pacing around and fidgeting, researchers are reporting in findings published today."

So there, sweetheart.   If anyone ever challenges my fidgeting at a nice evening out, I'll politely say, "It's not boorishness, it's biology."

Love your "World" and love the way you write. That is obviously genetic?

I do have one question. What about fat people who also fidgit? Hey, I hsve actually learned to sit mostly still for nearly an hour. The bummed knee has helped:>)
