Dammit, I need to start exercising. I've put on 15 pounds and not an ounce of it is muscle. And to think, I used to have cannons like my old man here...

Oh, DO shut up. You alway look ravishing. You gots the Y membership, righty? Use it. I wish I had one...
BTW- I looove Frankie's Sears photo studio romantical double exposure!
I don't understand 'Hi Bettys' - is this a does'nt cross the Atlantic thing or am I being dim? And who is this by the way? And Hi Lorelei....... and what's new Laura?
Hi woman!! I don't even think 'Hi Betty!!' is a particularly widespread American phenom--'tho I'm hoping to make is so, cuz it's brilliant.
It's a Lorelei thing, actually. I think. It's when a lady waves to her friend and calls out 'Hi Betty!!' and her upper arm swings and jiggles like there's no tomorrow. Makes me laugh every time I picture it (except when I picture my own arms doing that. Then it's not so funny.)
This pic, btw, is my father. He used to do some bodybuilding in his youth. As I did...well, actually, I was also a powerlifter for a while (until I injured my back lifting). Wanted to do the bodybuilding thing, just never seemed to be able to loose the excess chubby weight. I was big but never cut.
Me and J just got home from renting a row boat at a nearby forest preserve. Ha!! I was a friggin' joke--never rowed before. Kept turning in circles--it was very funny. My boy did a much better job than me.
Ah yes I remember the Hi Betty thing now..and about the weight lifting....I was just having a mental block thing there...... Boating can be great..straight lines, circles, its all good...I used to canoe when I was at school and in the swimming pool it was ok...on the river I was a little less keen....people put strange things in the river...eeeuughh.. Glad you girls are keeping well and having fun though.
Yes..that was where our school taught us the basics..in the pool...we spent a lot of time rolling and inserting our head in the upturned canoe.... Vermont sounds wonderful....

Next time, though, a canoe.
Teehee! Actually, my parents' next-door neighbor, Cindy, hatched the genius that is the 'Hi Betty!'
But spread far and wide (much like the flapping of saggy triceps) it must be...
What a wonderful way to take advantage of the day.
The boating, I mean. Not waving yer aged arms around...
Even if you end up only going in circles.
Cos circles are nice. And round.

I can't imagine you can do too much canoeing in a pool--how does that work? I would think only a couple of strokes and you're at the other end.
I've only canoed once--when I was 19 on a camping trip with friends up in Vermont. Beautiful, tranquil.
