Jerry Zezima: Thanks for the muscle memory

“I wouldn’t be going anywhere,” I noted.
“True,” Billy said. “But you won’t be in traffic, either.”
He added that weightlifting also is good for the heart.
“So is red wine,” I said.
“I had a rotator cuff problem and weight exercises really helped,” he said.
“Didn’t rotator cuffs used to be in cars?” I wondered.
Billy took me over to the weight area and asked, “Do you want to start with barbells or dumbbells?”
“I’m a dumbbell,” I said. “So let’s do barbells.”
I lifted the lightest one, 20 pounds, and got limbered up. Then I spent a few minutes on a bike. I barely broke a sweat.
“I started slowly,” I told Billy, Joe and Kenzie as I was leaving.
“Bye,” said Billy.
“We’ll see you soon,” Joe said.
“And not in 193 days,” Kenzie added.
“I’ll be back,” I said in my worst Arnold Schwarzenegger voice. “My muscles just remembered they could use a rest.”
