Three cheers for the arts for keeping us young! A major frustration for me––perhaps my greatest––is having to give up stage work, at least temporarily. (I hope it's only "temporary"!) In my last show, I was so distracted by my unreliable balance that I knew I wasn't doing my best work. When the show closed, I told my colleagues that I would stay off-stage until I could recover at least some decent balance. Will I succeed at that? I'm hoping!
