I was wondering if there’s a senior athlete impersonator category. And if that’s a team sport…👥👯‍♂️🤦🏼☺️

I think my category would be Audience Appreciation. I may have a shot at the Gold for that. 🏆

I was so in until the part about men and women with "good posture." I didn't have that even when I was younger. While I thought I was taking modern dance to turn "pro," my dance teacher told my mother she thought I was there to improve my posture. lol

:-) Maybe a better phrase is proud posture. We can all have that if we just take pride in our bodies, our selves.

John just said ‘It sounds like you’re having a good time!” As I laughed and laughed while reading your post

#! Your drawing of Mariah the riveter, I mean corn-holer.

#2 Only a certain kind of someone’s would make an Olympic-style sport out of the most popular drinking game in the Midwest. I cannot tell you how many hurdles I have jumped, oh I mean over tattered red plastic beer glasses, thrown aside from those playing corn hole during the pre-game, mid-game and post game football watching antics at UW.

Party, oh I mean, play on!

Ha ha - I should have grown up in the midwest! And if my opponents are drunk, so much the better for me. :-)
