In a stopgap measure to not camp out at the big house in the 'Mar for three months, Bob and I went and signed up for a year's worth of Tai Chi classes at Master Gohring's House of Tai Chi. I'm not terribly interested in the martial arts, nor am I very big on committing to a year's worth of anything I'm not madly in love with, but I went ahead and signed the papers anyway, because Mo and Bob aren't getting any younger, or thinner, or healthier, and I figured that this would be something Bob and I could do together. I read in an in-flight magazine that couples who try new activities together are happier and have stronger marriages. After being stared down by Master G in the ladies can at Kick Butt a few times (they advertise the tai chi school in print ads in the bathroom), I decided that Tai Chi, being popular with old people and bad-asses alike, would be an appropriate body-and-mind strengthener for little disabled me. It's martial art aspect would appeal to Bob more than yoga or aerobics, there is more personal support (seriously, they will call you if you quit showing up) and attention than Yogax2 offers.
And they are taking money out of our bank account for twelve months! I'm financially obligated to go!
Hopefully I'll feel better, drop a few pounds, strengthen my body for when the time comes when the big bad surgeon comes and breaks my sternum, and get something out of the mind/focus/discipline aspect, which is also very appealing. I could use some cultivation there.
We also sold Bob's Acura today to a very nice teenage girl with a modeling career. We now have a nice, normal, middle-class number of cars in the family.
