Patti,

This is fabulous and very true. It only takes a bit of creativity.

One time some ad company painted an advertisement on the risers of a wide staircase at the 7th Avenue exit of the Long Island Rail Road. It was for a show to start a few weeks hence and one that I was looking forward to viewing.

I stood at the bottom of the stairs, picked where I wanted to step on the first half dozen steps and then proceeded to zig and zag up the stairs according to my very own system. I'm fairly confident the other commuters were mildly annoyed but I had a great time!!

Music would be all the more fun.

Yes, it reminds me so much of the Tom Hanks movie--BIG.

Very clever. I'm not sure, with my knees, if I'd try it or not, but it's a clever idea.
