Mondays with Melitas – September 5, 2011

: Watch out Melitas, those weights look heavy!

: hmmm, for some reason I don’t think Melitas is refreshing herself with a cool glass of water!

A 10-MINUTE DRILL NOT CONDUCTED UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF PROFESSOR COIA. I JUST FELT LIKE DOING THIS “10-MINUTE” AT HOME.This is about BALANCE IN SESSION ONE, Class 2. Remember, I never did get the picture of Session One the 3 or 4 times I took it….maybe in body only. Coia had me taking it over and over before she would even consider graduating me….I told her I did not care to graduate…I just wanted to take all the classes and do the 10-minute drills, and that was enough to fulfill the rest of my days.

….and hang out with all my wonderful classmates…..

______________________________________________________________

Above the line just came out of the keyboard all by itself….it was not a part of my 10-minute drill. Below the line which follows is the real thing.

————————————————————————————————

Where I live, we have the best grub —- bar none. We also have the best bar — bar none.

So that has created a huge amount of BALANCE in my life.

Now there you have it: the Balance in my life comes from a sensational, healthful cooking Warden — Alba, who was an Aztec Princess in an earlier time — and who also serves as chief bartender — under my tutelage, of course.

That’s the reason I am still alive and kicking at 93 going on 94.

MY ADVICE: When you are coming down the road to take off on your beeg vacation, be sure to get a Warden who can cook good healthy food, and YOU EAT IT ALL — CLEAN YOUR PLATE… and maybe your Warden will reward you with a Good Tequila to whet your appetite … then you will be able to continue down that road farther than you ever imagined.
