It’s not likely I’ll have time to get my body toned and fit before my doctor appointment next week. I’m sort of resigned to being all lumpy for the rest of my life, but I would have liked to make a good impression when I meet him for the first time. If only so that he wouldn’t have to mention it, you know? The lumpiness?

Even though it’s too late, I’ve finally put myself back on a (mild) exercise program, just a few minutes every morning. It’s probably not enough to get me in shape, and definitely not before next Wednesday, but at least I’m finding out what I can still do, and what I can’t.

One thing I can’t do is push-ups, but I never could do very many of those even when my body was sound (if it ever was). I was never much for sit-ups or stomach crunches, either, but I can still do them as well as I ever could. You could look on that as a good thing, since that’s the area that needs the most work. I’m okay with standing yoga poses, but anything that involves putting weight on my hands, of course, is out. (And there are a lot of such positions.)

One way or another, I’ll figure out an exercise regimen that helps keep me in a little better shape, in spite of my debilities. It’s sad, though, that I can no longer play the air guitar like Pete Townshend. I’ll have to settle for playing the air dobro like Brother Oswald, which isn’t nearly as dramatic.

Stuff

Until this season, the Cardinals were the only team Matt Morris had ever pitched for. Tonight he started for the Giants against his former team, and the third batter of the game, Albert Pujols, tagged his ex-teammate for a three-run homer, his twenty-third of the season (by far the most in the major leagues). The Giants got two of those runs back immediately in the bottom of the first, and they got the tying run on base in the bottom of the ninth, but they could never quite catch up and lost, 8-5.
