hard water
Once or twice per week, I use purchased distilled (demineralized; dH20, etc) water to rinse the mild shampoo from my hair. You can buy it here in large jugs very cheaply. I suppose if used every day, it would leach minerals out of the hair/scalp (?), weakening hair. (I don't know). If you cycle in a...

superficial fat
Is the observation about superficial fat and swimming true for the face, too? (I would suppose it to be....)

sport
Yes, Oscar-- that's what I would be looking for in technique.... I don't really follow any sport except from time to time swimming. I find the very short distances in running, and Olympic relays, in addition to sport like gymnastics look very stressful to the body and runner (grimacing; lots of inju...

sport
I do not watch any organized sport (especially the highest levels of it) because it seems like such straining of the body: the movement is not natural; the body pressured to perform; the whole body in a state of end-gaining and forcing the body to obey. However, I always liked swimming because despi...

swimming and musculature
Very good information. That is an important footnote to all of the Wai b-board material on looking 'ripped'-- thank you. Like my friend, I desire most of all a healthy body, but with that said, I prefer the look of it with more, rather than less, superficial fat. I swim, too, but have done less of i...

muscle definition & exercise
I have a friend who is a Master's swimmer. She is 50 years old; followed a raw diet then Wai for the past 3 years, doesn't take any hormones etc., and says she thinks her regular exposure to cold water (including swimming outdoors) gives her a "sleeker" look than the stringy, or more 'ripped' look o...

washing hands
Yes; I missed that too (and was joking in any case, as American restaurants post a little too selfconsciously "EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS AFTER USING RESTROOM" signs all over customer restrooms, to send a good message to the customers). I did not mean to imply you are not great at your job! And if yo...

tickets
He doesn't play here anymore
I think he gave up on the US--
So I have to buy a ticket to "Europe" (somewhere) anyway to hear him--
Which, believe me, I think about.

van G
It is a poignant quotation for sure; I am not being cynical, but rather the opposite, when I note he did not have 10 years to give... I missed the Rembrandt quadrennial (400 year anniversary of his birth) and truly would like to visit Amsterdam in upcoming years; it seems a marvelous place for all I...

Everywhere proximate to the Rijksmuseum is perfect-- no need to wish for more.
What is that van Gogh said about being willing to trade 10 years of his life for 2 weeks in front of a particular Rembrandt painting....
