VT, interesting...especially what you say about posture. I've been bugging him about that, too, on a regular basis -- telling him you can't just put it off, then fix it "when he's got time". His shoulders have become quiet rounded since his heart surgery in 2004. He even denied it until I showed him pictures of himself. I suggested that some of his lung capacity problems (and singing problems, volume, etc., pre-cancer) might be caused by that -- and the "cure" is to just straighten his shoulders every time he thinks of it.

I guess the problem is he just never thinks of it. (Or else he needs some male-type person he respects to reinforce the idea.) I even talked to my physical therapists back when I was doing rehab on my broken arm.

The trampoline might be problematic, though, alas -- I'm sure Rufus (our young red male cat) would have to investigate his feet and the surface and try to, uh, "help". ;-)
