Very interesting Card. Tai Chi classes are taught at my gym and I've been thinking of taking them.They're free! A good friend on my TTC , Ricky Wieberg, practiced it and I always thought it was a good blend of the Karate I practiced as a kid and the asanas I liked before my spine fused. It looks very relaxing and is also supposed to develop good balance. I used to walk from around Pope Street, S.F. to the Financial District for a year and a half. During the Winter it was of course dark. As I passed through China Town there seemed to be thousands of gigantic praying mantises moving in the dark. It was a bit frightening. When I got closer I saw that theses were ancient Chinese people doing Tai Chi. On the way back from the Financial District, after flying in the China Basin and dinner at Original Joe's or some 4 star restaurant downtown, I walked back. By this time all of the shops were closed. The ancients were doing very honorable dumpster diving. The shop keepers placed the produce they could not sell very neatly, neatly crated, in the dumpsters. The ancients took the crates out of the dumpsters, opened them on the ground and took what they needed. When done with a crate they carefully closed it and put it back in the dumpster. -- "America always chooses to do the right thing -- after it's tried everything else"-- Winston Churchill
