Lookin' good.....

Exercise is over-rated......I think....people who exercise regularly rave about it....but, I know a lot more people who don’t ‘n the funny thing is....well, people who don’t exercise may be a little fatter ‘n they don’t run off here ‘n there to see ‘n be seen...I have to admit that fit people are out doing...I mean, you see ‘em everywhere, walking, jogging, swimming....they play tennis ‘n golf ‘n go off to concerts ‘n hike ‘n camp ‘n tell great stories about snorkeling in the Bahamas or climbing Kilimanjaro, doing a walking tour of Scotland or Wales or tripping off to Katmandu....I mean these people operate as tho’ they had a built-in perpetual motion machine stuffed up their keisters....The un-fit (of which there are many, many more) putter...they putter here, they putter there, I think it’s just ‘cause they forgot where they putter whatever it is that they’re looking for but I could be wrong.....The un-fit people seem to ‘lunch’ a lot ‘n they take cruises ‘n talk about the food....food is a major interest of the un-fit ‘n they all seem to enjoy it....’n the wine ‘n cocktails ‘n such that goes along with food, of course.....’n naps....the un-fit are big on naps....two or three a day, some of ‘em....’n shows.....the un-fit like their shows....they like theater ‘n movies ‘n free concerts in the park....they especially seem to like free concerts in the park where they bring folding chairs ‘n the occasional bottle of wine or spirits....nothing increases the enjoyment of music in the park like a little wine ‘n cheese, maybe a few crackers, some salami...’course, that kind of diet just runs the fit people up the wall...
funny thing about being fit when age creeps up on a body.....it gets so you can’t eat much of anything....no saturated fats, no sodium, no sugar (God knows no high fructose corn syrup) no alcoholic beverages, no sodas, no ice cream, no bread....you have to keep a close eye on your caloric intake, your blood sugar, your blood pressure....don’t overdo the carbs, don’t overdo the protein....and when you die, whether you’re one of the fit or one of the un-fit, if you get a good make-up artist at the funeral home, your friends’ll say “You never looked better.”
