I say Indian, too. I forgot to put the j/k moniker on there.

The absurdity of political correctness. Who can say what, anymore?

Funny sidenote (maybe not funny, but you know...). My kids can't say "sit Indian style" at school. They're supposed to say "sit crosslegged" or "sit butterfly-style" (the latter was a kindergarten thing). So, at home, I tell them to sit "Indigenous American Style." They don't get it, but guests laugh.

Not the point John, but many of those old movies look so crisp and clear in black and white that it would be a travesty to colorize them as TCM once did.

By the way, fortunately I am fully clothed when I exercise. And my bench is very clean JP. Especially since I can't get down to use it yet.

I would like to work out naked .. but no one else would enjoy, so I spare them the disaster

Well said John. Thank you for the motivator.
