two fine days

Today was National Relaxation Day.  No problem there.  I am a great relaxer.  I learned this when I was in college.  As an art education major I was required to take a certain number of phys ed classed and they were arranged so that, in a 10 week quarter (we didn't do semesters) we could take two five-week classes.  One quarter I took bowling and badminton. See a previous blog to see how I did with bowling.  Another quarter was archery and swimming.  May I mention here that archery was the first 'A' I ever got in a gym class.  I think it was because I could stand still and simply use my upper body - none of this coordination stuff with arms and legs working together.  The gym duo I remember most vividly was relaxation and folk dancing.  My instructor was very impressed with my ability to relax.  What she didn't know, and I didn't bother to explain to her, was that when I arrived at my relaxation class, at 8am, after hiking waaay across campus, in the dead of winter, being faced with a mat on the floor in a warm room, relaxing was not a problem.  She just had to wake me up when class was over. 
On another subject, tomorrow is tell a joke day so I will share one I saw on a sign outside a restaurant earlier today.  "Exercise?? I thought you said extra fries."
