Everywhere I look, really. I do have a funny story about a friend who, visiting the local synagogue, had occasion (and that's another whole story) to go in the men's room. She was taken by the tile...

I had to laugh. I deliberately keep my ironing board across the room from my sewing table so that I have to get up and down and take those few steps. Easier on my back and knees in the long run. ...
