Only if the library has it, which is doubtful. I'm not buying this book! It'll be followed by numerous invitations to join AARP... Not good for the morale!

That's true , but since they're only hardware stores available... what do you do? You either look for milk there or you quit drinking milk!

i would respectfully presume, one would type a lot alone at night on CDF and avoid the hardware store or perhaps occasionally peek into the window as you walked by it at night after closing time.

I particularly like how the publisher has graciously agreed to donate all your royalties to the "Type A Foundation"...

Actually, there's a whole slew of libraries, in this country and abroad, that seem to be carrying it. Just ask the librarian for "Phil's book" - she'll know.

Trivia Point: I originally suggested the title (and submitted the MSS with) "Strong and Sexy Seniors - The Art and Science of Taijiquan for Older Adults".

Guess it didn't fit their demographics...or the cover.

Darlin', I'm sure you spent untold hours slaving away at that little masterpiece, but I feel that somehow my audience would lose their focus on taiji and instead focus on the wonderful being that is Me.

We authors DO have to make sacrifices occasionally, ya know...

Nothing could be farther from the truth... Seriously. Didn't think you were such a poor judge of character. It's really funny if I give out such vibe online. This reminds me of the lady I'd mentioned I'd hit it off on this vacation forum last year. She was really looking forward to meeting me, more so than I did because I already had reservations and hinted to her beforehand I might not be in real life who she thinks I am... Now, she was that type and apparently also mistakenly thought she found a kindred soul.

Too bad... looks like our library is not as evolved as to have it..

Small wonder! I don't think I've ever seen "sexy" and "seniors" in the same sentence...

What's wrong with that?! It's not like I'd take a look at the book because of T'ai Chi... Look at it as a way of expanding your audience!

No, no - I was referring to the fact that the people that often get the most benefit out of taiji - but rarely study it - are Type A's.

No, you're a B girl all the way.

...

...that didn't come out right...

I've found that the closer I get to "Senior", the more I see the connection with "Sexy"

Hmm... it does work in some guys' cases, but I somehow don't feel the same way imagining the word "senior" applying to me...

Of course you will! It's in your nature! I KNOW! And it has nothing to do with intuition... just knowing my twin. God, that was scary - a guy (gay) I recently chatted with in a store ended our conversation by saying "and stay out of trouble 'cause I know you get into it" (or something to that effect)"...
