Dear Buenos, I just read that stretching too much before exercising might be a bad thing. Who are we supposed to trust when there's so much conflicting advice out there? I've been told my whole life, stretch before you run. - Lacy of Laredo

Dear Buenos, I've read all your columns and they've really helped me out so first and foremost, thank you. My question for you is this: what gives your life meaning? Most humans write out of a sense of ego? Is this true for you as well? - Bored in Boca Raton
