Stress test

My wife is a worrier. So I can't just get on my bicycle and ride. Today I have to take a stress test. I teach middle school. I know I have stress.

Part of it comes down to age: 58. My weight isn't too good, either: 190 on a bad day. Eating habits are an abomination. Twix bars for breakfast, four cookies for lunch. Bad cholesterol an issue, too.

So maybe a stress test isn't a bad idea.

I plan to ride my bicycle over from Glendale to Jewish Hospital in Kenwood in a few minutes. I do find, without exception, that when I exercise my stress abates.

I recommend that middle school teachers exercise regularly.
