Row Row Row Your Boat

My last visit tot he dr. only garnerd a slight caution to maybe drop a few pounds. Well duh. I am back to my old size. A typical 40 something with a bit of weight around the middle.

On a side nite, My friend Kimmy is back from Japan. She is the one that did the "heart walk" back when I was recovering. She has been teaching in Japan for the last year or so. She came up to me after wondering who I was. She was shocked when she recognized me. Her last memories were of the pale, recovery patient, not the cowboy of the boulevard I resemble now.

Recently I found a commercial grade rowing machine at a thrift shop for $40. Now I can join the ranks of people with high falutin, gym-grade things on which to dry clothes.

Although, the rower is a bit low to the ground for that purpose. I may choose to use it as intended-- to maintain a washboard stomach instead of being bored maintaining wash.

I also found one of those jiggler machines from the 50s and 60s. Its hysterical. Just jiggle the pounds away. I do not think any laundry room should be without one.

Peace be with you.

  1. Too funny. But, be forewarned -- using the old exercise equipment can be hazardous. Several years ago I found an old Suzanne Sommers Thighmaster. I used it religiously in an attempt to fend off the dreaded "middle-aged spread" (remember: the commercial promised it would also tighten abdominal muscles).

    Two weeks later I had hernia surgery.
