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."
