Gardisil, aging, acro, a song

flexagonMedical news: Gardisil 9 (protecting against the 9 most common strains of HPV) is now recommended for adults up to 45. This is a big change from the old "up to 26" recommendation, and sexually active 27+ folk should look into it! I am.
Hope: on Saturday I went to a dance performance and ended up sitting next to a 57-year-old woman who has a gymnastics and ballet background, and still does handstands and cartwheels most days. (When I asked, she said that she can still do splits). So she's my new proof of concept, and I want to be her in due time. My own splits have been going well lately, since I've gotten more committed to doing them twice a week, so I'd say I'm on track. Just ~18 years to go.
Dress rehearsal for next weekend's acro performance went well! I believe now that the thing we have made is actually audience-pleasing. After a million runs with an audience of a single coach, it's reassuring to know that we can be confident in our choreography; all we have to do is execute it.
This is my new earworm -- very dark and religious-style spooky. Someone else is doing a rope act to it, in the same show where I'm doing acro.
