Did my running at the gym with my kid on the treadmill next to me.  I taught him how to do all his abdominal exercises--singling out ab sections including his abductors. It wasn't entirely successful. It was harder than I'd imagined helping him locate and focus on where to isolate the work. He also wasn't 100% convinced I knew what I was doing. Who can blame him, I'm so flabby you would have never believed I grew up in a gym working out with Mr. America 1976 (my father).  We did have fun though running next to each other watching the Miss Universe Pageant and commenting on the hilarious things the announcers would say (and the intonations they used) when they said things like “Miss Paraguay was studying to be a doctor until she realized that the sight of blood makes her sick….Being a doc, doesn't rock with.......Paraguay!"  I was reminded while we were watching all these beautiful girls how unconscious he is in his attraction to the dark skinned women.  He doesn’t make a point of it or even realize it.  He just stops and looks more carefully, and for longer, if the girl has dark skin.  I just think it’s interesting and wonder how that came to be, and if it will translate into his dating years (a few years down the road).
