ahhhh Martin.... your post gave me a grin I gotta tell ya!

See... I thought that Tai Chi would be something I could do that would a)relieve stress and b)help keep my joints mobile. But, here's where I went wrong!

I picked up one of those "learn at home" video tapes. Now .... picture this.

I'm dressed in my leotard and sweatpants (no.. don't picture that! yuk!).. so I'm looking the "part". I kick the kids outside so I can monopolize the TV and off I go. Thank goodness for the 'rewind button" as it took a while for me to master the first two movements, but master them I did, so off I ventured into movement number three. This movement required you pivoting on one foot and turning 180 deg.... this I did..... but then I had a problem.... I COULDN'T SEE THE DARN TV!!!! All I could hear was this woman 'rabbiting' away, but I hadn't got a clue what I was supposed to do!!!!

I guess if you don't have any neck involvement, it might be possible for you to look over your shoulder and actually see the picture.... but not me!!!!

I may have to risk arrest and take the tape to Wal-Mart where I can simultaneously broadcast the program onto a bank of 30 TV's..... and perform my Tai Chi right there in the electronics department!

Do you think I would be arrested????? (if you ever had the misfortune of spotting me in my leotard... you would now the answer would be a resounding YES!!! )

Handcuffs please......................
