Appropriate Exercise

My father brought me up believing that sailing was a proper form of exercise.  This critical lesson was lost on my brother - he plays tennis, squash and all manner of sweat-producing things.

I, like my father before me and his father before him, do not engage in sweat-producing endeavors willingly.  This applied to our professional lives as well as our recreation.  Even golf is on the edge, as without the breeze of a sail, the sun can get overbearingly hot, and anyway, all that country club joining and socializing can be quite tedious.

So, as I pointed out in December, when the concept of the couch potato was revealed to me, I embraced it with enthusiasm.  I like to believe that I've furthered the cause by bringing so much of my life to the safety of the couch.  And what do you know - just in time for Matlock!

But, the Doc's onto me.
