cartwheel...can't remember the last time I did one

But I promised myself if 45 was voted out, that I would do cartwheels on the front lawn.

Should I practice? or should I really turn this into a thing where I haven't done one in decades and the happy event was the catalyst?

I’m a 64 yr old former college cheerleader and I have said THOSE EXACT WORDS—only I’ve said I’m going in the middle of my street! 🙌🏻

but I haven't been a cheerleader since Pop Warner (Junior High school).

We'll do those cartwheels together.

Broken arms or wrists be damned! When it happens, I’m celebrating big! Champagne and cartwheels! I’ll be happy to do virtual cartwheels with you!

so it’s perhaps best if I don’t start now.

I may bust out the old skateboard and do some 80s-style ollies and kickflips, however.

and if I tried it now I would end up in the ER. I will probably just drink.
