After having carefully assessed my opportunities and market needs, I've decided on my next book. It will be nonfiction and have a title and subtitle something like:
Aerophobics: The Easy Six* Step program to end your exercise addiction
*'cause let's face it, twelve steps is WAAAAAAY too many.
First chapter--Put Don't Those Weights and Pick Up That Remote--how to get over your fear of sitting still.
I'm still working on the rest of the program, but I expect it to crystalize shortly, I'll just sit here a while and keyboard about it--the extent of the aerobics for the day.
If I might quote one of my favorite podcasters, Steve Runner of Phedipidations, you need to stay away from the "couch of DOOOM". :)

Will someone please give Steven a call and let him know someone has hijacked his blog. ;)
If you need a Master Aerophobe to write a nice introduction for you, call me. If I don't answer, it will be because I am out back enjoying a cigar and a martini.
Of course even for the best of us, temptation lurks. Just the other day I was thinking about swimming a few laps when Amalia was at her swim lesson. just thinking about it gives me the shivers.
