On another boomer blog... and no, when us old people rock, we just make horse's petitutes of ourselves. Anyway, shoulda known yoga

would be mentioned in the article about us old folks extending our lives (yeah, lost people are smart enough to not want to die - ever!!!) though getting proper exercise.  So, my question is:  what's with boomers and yoga?  Frankly, i believe it's not just a mere money-making scheme - ya know, the classes, and oh my, you can't show up for class in the same yoga pants ya wore two-week ago.   Nope, i believe this yoga lock-step goes way beyond getting people to shell out for (overpriced) cds, books, those horrendous pants (always pants - uglier the better, i guess) and whatever el$e.  There's an agenda creeping about - and it smells like sulfur.

i'd rather exercise, and not have to spend money doing it.  Oh, wait a sec, i bought a piece of exercise equipment to use in my own personal gym.  Paid like $60 for a hedge trimmer and a small curved tool to cut weeds - weed-whackers and chain-saws (especially) frighten me.  Anyway, have plenty of exercise to do.  Worked out all day today, but have more than enough for every Saturday - and maybe a bit during the week, to last well into the cooler season.

And the thing i really like is: whether snipping and hauling brambles, or pouring (a small bit of) concrete - or like last spring, when i moved a few tons of dirt, with a shovel, pik-axe and a wherl-barrow - this (honest, for-real) exercise can be done in a DRESS!  i hate wearing pants, just hate 'em.
