You know our conventions are definitely characterized by prolonged sitting. This is not good as it is likely to lead to heart disease and diabetes. So therefore I have this question that I want to throw out there to the list serve. What activities are we planning for the 2014 convention that involve sports, recreation, and exercise? I liked what we did last year up in the Bay Area and I do not want that to end that is a good trend that we started last year we had a dance I loved it. I mean you wouldn't like any of us to end up with diabetes or heart disease would you?
