I absolutely love this commercial. It’s a catchy, high-energy advertisement for Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS). The song takes residence in my head as I enjoy the fun, fresh moves of the actors as well as the expressions on their faces as they move. Motion allows them to show joy, excitement, confidence, curiosity, and even aggression…

Shut Up and Do the Work
Today, in Frederick, MD it was 64 degrees on February 20th! I ran to the bank early this morning when it was only 47 degrees and the insanity had already started. Folks in tank tops were jogging around snow piles that were 2 feet high and lots of shorts were seen walking in and out…
Day 35: Failing to Actually Have 366 (It’s a Leap Year) Failures
