This article title made me laugh but it really describes the way I walk, especially during the winter time.

John - I got a laugh too. I have the penguin walk mastered! Year round (on flat surfaces that would not be of the frozen type) The other day I was at a community happy hour (I call it a “Social” since I don’t drink). I did not have my walker or cane, and as I was leaving, a well meaning (but unfamiliar) lady asked if I was Ok to drive home. So now I’m wondering if I have too much stagger in my penguin walk - but hey, I am ever so thankful to just walk!
