Some background. I'm almost 48 and carrying some-but-not-excessive-extra-poundage. My semi-daughter is 28, average height, average weight, has a job where she's on her feet all day. You'd think that she'd be in better shape than me.
Wrong. I broke my leg seven years ago and have been terrified of ending up in a wheelchair ever since, so I walk everywhere and I climb stairs. I don't take the Porter Square stairs ***EVERY*** time I come into Boston, but some impish part of me needed to show off to Crystal that day about her complaints that she was "getting old".
