Tom, and others, Since reading all this talk about walking with hands behind back, arms extended, arms swinging, etc., I spent the last day or so considering the way I walk. I have found that I do not like to walk with my arms swinging, mainly because my right does not swing. It drives me crazy to try to swing my arms and find the right one hangs while the left swings. Consequently, I find that most of the time I keep both hands in my pockets. This keeps me balanced. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask] http://members.tripod.com/~marling
