alexpgpLast week's t'ai chi class underwhelmed me in terms of what I actually learned, but impressed me in terms of the exhibition that the teacher presented to us. Today's session was an entirely different kettle of fish.
I should note that about the only people available to attend a one-hour course at a public library at 1 pm on a weekday are either lucky devils such as myself or retired people, and in this particular case, very retired people. Indeed, of the five people taking the course, it is likely the others were all in high school when I was learning to walk.
I note this about my classmates only as a preface to the statement that today's lesson physically drove two of our august assembly to the point where they had to pause and sit down.
I have never been one to enjoy the kind of exercise where it's easy for the mind to lose focus after an exceedingly short period. Heck, I've been known to lose count of the number of times I've been around a standard quarter-mile track before the first mile is complete, and much the same is true for laps in a pool.
On the other hand, at this early stage, I find that concentrating on what I'm doing is (a) what I'm supposed to be doing anyway, and (b) enabling me to enjoy the exercise more fully.
* * * On the work front, I am now 2/3 of the way through the day's dose of the OCR Nightmare (yay!). But I'm still only halfway through what needs to be done, however, as I have allowed my bank account to overrule my brain and have accepted 4,000 words or so for midday Tuesday.
Dinner calls.
Cheers...
