This exercise I learned from saxophone class:
Pucker the lips as if you were going to whistle. Hold
that position for a few seconds. Then make the widest
and goofest smile you can make. Hold that position for
the same amount of time as you did for the whistle. Go
back to the whistle. Repeat and increase the amount of
time. Have fun!!! You may not want to do this if
anyone is watching. >>

Exactly this exercise was taught to me by Larry Teal, renowned former
saxophone teacher at the University of Michigan. I have used it many times in
my life, to get back in shape, particularly.

A great time to do this is while driving, if you don't mind a few funny
stares........Come to think of it, another great time is when you're browsing
through e-mail.

I'm sure we all grimace a lot, on this list, especially when all of you have
to suffer through my posts.
