Dave Gerlits Loves to Zumba

I don’t dance at full throttle anymore, due to issues with my ankles, but I still love it.

Here is my favorite routine. This was one that the teachers asked me to lead – because I brought so much energy and enthusiasm to it.

Enjoy!

9-22 Better Call Saul – a Song by Mark Zanger

Sharing a song you might like.

It touches on the irony of our egos and their notions that they can change the world instead of simply enjoy the ride sometimes!

Lyrics:

When I use all the words I know, love 
Hopin’ to make life change
Then I realize all my words, love
To make life change
Really make it change
To make life change
Go for nothing at all
Better take ’em all back
You know, I better call Saul!
I better call Saul and have him take it to the limit
And then I’ll have him seal the case in silence
As I take the fall
We’d better call!
When I use all the words I know, love
Hopin’ to make life change
Then I realize all my words, love
Are a waste of my time
Better be sublime
Better use my time to climb
Let’s call a meet and greet of the best in this world of our dreams
And ask them what we should say
Let me tell you they’ll say,
“Just save it!  Let’s not brave it.  
Tell them all at the office you gave it!
Save your breath, my man,
It’s a better plan.” 
When I use all the words I know, love 
Hopin’ to make a big change
Then I realize all my words, love,
Are meant for me, so I can see
Just meant for me!
Save it!  Save all your breath
Save all for yourself
That’s better now
Just keep it safe
All to yourself
That’s better
Keep it to yourself
You know it’s meant for you alone, just you love
