It's Time To Say... Good... Bye

Sadness. Fitness guru and pretty much all-American icon Jack LaLanne has passed away at the age of 96. If you never had the good fortune to see him on TV (and he was all over the place when I was a kid), he was truly the greatest cheerleader for getting off your ass and moving that the world has ever seen. Richard Simmons isn't even close.

I know some of you keep exercise logs on LJ or other social sites, and I think that's great. I am, at this point, a lump -- partly because of my current physical limitations, but partially because I am lazy about exercise. This isn't a New Year's Resolution or anything, but I am gonna try to be more active, and to note it here when I do so. So either there'll be a lot more entries with the "exercise" tag... or there won't.

I'm planning to do a little tai chi, maybe sit-down yoga, and I've got some small weights to start with. If you exercise, what's your preferred program? Do you watch a specific TV or video, do you go somewhere to run or walk, a particular gym because they have such-and-such weights and machines, yoga, tai chi, what? Just curious.

Terror at a Moscow Airport

I really want to post some light, funny stuff, but I can't get past this:

MOSCOW (AP) — A suicide bomber carrying a suitcase walked into Moscow's busiest airport and set off a huge explosion Monday, killing at least 31 people and wounding nearly 170, witnesses said.

The international arrivals terminal at Domodedovo Airport was engulfed by smoke and splattered with body parts after the mid-afternoon terror attack sprayed shrapnel, screws and ball bearings at passengers and workers in a loosely guarded area. Hundreds of people were in the area at the time.

Horrible. I will never understand how people can do this.
