This is the time of year we sign up for activities.
I am torn between beginner karate two nights a week OR Toastmasters along with an adult hip-hop class.
The advantage of the karate is that it is something my daughter wants to do and it is inexpensive. Toastmasters is kinda fun but we are getting overrun by fundamentalist ministers and right wing politicians (when I say “overrun” I mean one of each). Hip-hop may be a lot of fun: one of the ladies who signed up is in her 80s so there is a chance I could keep up…she is pretty fit though.
What is everyone else doing to keep in shape and/or beat the winter blues?
-
I'm definitely toying with a hip op.
-
I've never liked that kind of music.
-
Think I'll go for better muscle tone!
I'm going to try drinking beer with just my left arm for a month!

A mouth is more effective.

Diane, you should do the karate for this year, then return to toastmasters next year and put your new karate skills to use on the ministers and politicians.
-
I'm going to get drinking again. It's done me proud the last few years.
-
I have decided that I don't want to do hip-hop, karate or Toastmasters.
I fancy making pots - but I would have to drive too far for that.
-
Im going to join a gym again because ive been told they have a new machine that suits me perfectly.
Its called a vending machine !!
;D

The F1 drivers make pots, but they drive really fast too.

In a moment of weakness, I joined Toastmasters for another year.
Along with the Lutheran Minister and Right-wing politician, we also have a new addition of the town’s Catholic Priest – he is from some South American country (Paraguay perhaps).
I thought it is going to be hard for me to avoid being penalized for saying "bullshit" too often. ..0
But then two Native American ladies about my age also newly joined – one of them stood up and gave the following for her first joke – the word of the evening was “Frosty”.
Weather Forecast
The Indian Chief thought that it was going to be a bad winter so he sent all the braves out to collect wood. As he watched them return laden with timber from the forest he suddenly felt that he ought to check his forecast so he phoned the local met office.
"Tell me, is it going to be a bad winter?"
"Yes" said the forecaster " it will be a bad one"
So the Chief told the braves that they didn't have enough wood and sent them back into the forest again. They returned with more wood but once again the Chief had doubts and he called the forecaster to confirm.
"It is going to be a really severe winter" replied the forecaster.
The Chief look at the wood store, decided that more was required and the braves were dispatched back in to forest. The Chief called the forecaster.
"Are you sure it's going to be a really severe winter"
"Look" said the forecaster "its definitely going to be the worst winter on record - the Indians are gathering wood like crazy!""
It seems political correctness is out the window.
It may be a fun year after all. :)

Great gag!

Shame it's a bit too long to go in a Horace strip...

I was invited to join a group on Tuesday mornings that hires the pool for an hour for aquasize at the only hotel in town that has a pool. (I love going to the outdoor public pool for aquasize in the summer).
At 48 years old, I was the youngster of the group. It was a tiny pool crowded out with seniors so you could hardly do your moves and the guys were acting like two-year-olds blowing water through the foam floatation noodles. ..0
I guess I won’t be adding that to my calendar of winter 12/13 activities.

Toastmasters is going well though, I made a new buddy in the Catholic Priest – I get to call him Abraham because I’m not Catholic – he hits me on the arm and we have a good laugh together. I am even starting to be able to understand some of what he is saying.

Wow! You speak Latin as well?

He was mostly talking about chili chicken on Tuesday night - a universal language.
It does make you wonder about titles though doesn’t it? Everyone recognises “Dr.” but in the same way shouldn’t we all recognise “Rev.” too even if we are not of that faith as it was a degree earned at a public university? For instance what do you call His Holiness the Dali Llama if you are not Buddhist and he joins one of your activity groups…Pete?

I'm guessing Llama-Features wouldn't be appropriate?
