February 39ers are in it for the LOVVVVE
Long
before healthy living became a “thing” St. Valentine’s Day meant loading up on chocolate, schoolyard declarations of
puppy love, and handmade Valentines.
For
adults, it’s the optimum day to propose with a gi-normous diamond ring … and
loads of chocolate.
We
urge 39 and Holding Club’s 39ers to celebrate the venerable non-holiday, or not
… just do what makes your heart happy ... with dark chocolate. :-) Speaking of which …
39er Fitness
and Fun
Ah
yes … the month of L-O-V-E. And American Heart Month of course. So while you’re taking care of your
significant other’s heart, or if you’re alone but not lonely, don’t forget your own red-blooded heart. Get it pumping with a fun romp down
Memory Lane …
39 Years Ago
this Month ~ FEBRUARY 1980
February 13th: Were you holding hands with
your squeeze at the 1980 Winter Olympics? The frosty XIII Winter
Olympics was Lake Placid, New York’s second hosting
opportunity. Popular for winter sports, it was apt that the Olympics’ mascot
that year came in the form of adorable “Roni” raccoon, because the furry mammal’s
encircled eyes are reminiscent of winter sports goggles. Oooooo-K.
Remember the final day? Famed brass
musician, Chuck Mangione, composed
and performed the games’ instrumental theme song, “Give It All You Got.”
Great advice …
February 23rd: Or perhaps you remember 39
Years Ago the Queen song that showed
the love for
The throwback tune gave Freddie Mercury’s vocals a rare
showcase as it tripped into the Rockabilly genre. If you weren’t in love with
them before, you likely felt the love by the time it hit #2 on WLS/Chicago’s MusicRadio 89 chart. ♪ This thing … called love
| I just … can't handle it ♪
For 39ers who
Follow the Stars

Are you a February 39er? The color gods paint you
(and your hair) in a kaleidoscope of hues—early Feb quirky but caring Aquarian
Water-bearers (Jan 20-Feb 18) can re-style the palette of your moods with turquoise
green, or deep purple. Or not so radically, a “normal” bright blue adds a refreshing
hue to your wardrobe and/or hair accessories when paired with Pantone’s “Living Coral” for the New Year.
If you’re walking through the sands of time with Pisces
(Feb 19-Mar 20) pals, all shades of green keep you cool with them. Dreamy,
sensitive, and intuitively spiritual, Pisces identifies with the month of love
for a reason. Their compassion and empathy make everyone around them feel
loved.
Aging with ATT-i-tude Platitude
Only in the pages of my books can I
pretend to be young again.

… sigh.
