Morning Calisthenics and TED Talks

I asked Tom what he would do in the morning when he retires in T minus 6 days. He said, "I think I'll do what your dad does after he wakes up every single day: I'll do some calisthenics while watching TED talks on the computer at top volume."

I nodded, sounds reasonable.

Meanwhile, my dad has been working into a new routine. I don't mean that he altered anything about the calisthenics or the TED talks. I mean he and my mother moved recently and therefore he can no longer do his thing in the den of his former house.

Pop had prepared for the big move. He got himself a yoga mat, but I don't think he's using it. Last we spoke, he had stationed his ankle weights and his kettle balls in the new living room on my mother's oriental rug.

I'm not sure how long this particular set up will last. I think this because Pop mentioned he had been strongly encouraged by my mother to go visit the gym down the street. My mother said he can get in free with Silver Sneakers. She checked.

Apparently, Pop went to the gym once. There was a hiccup. Somehow he got stuck in a massage chair and the on-site massage therapist person had to save him.  He also said the chair punched him in the kidney.

Don't worry, I'll keep you up to date on how all these storylines shake out.
