Photograph: Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut's temple, Luxor, 2005-10-03, © Nick Varacalli.I walk on my tip-toes. Dancers I hang out with have noticed. A relative think it’s a sign of Parkinson’s. Thankfully my doctor disagrees. One thing I do notice is that many stretches that should be working my hamstrings end up stretching my calves instead.

Aside: according to Merriam-Webster “calfs” is only acceptable for baby cows, not for parts of legs.
