I can relate Phil.  My back likes to bite once in a while.  Stretching strengthens the muscle so they can suposively hold the back in place better.  Keep up the good work.  I am trying to walk more so I can get back in shape or at least loose weight.

Christ is the reason for the season. If there was not Christ. There would be no Christ-mas. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
