I'm Too Young to Be Old

I think I managed to give myself about a dozen or so completely minor injuries yesterday. Whether it was the 75 minute run, or the long car ride, or the hauling flat-packed Ikea furniture around, I don't know. I do know that I woke up stiff and sore this morning and my normal routine of stretching and a walk to work haven't done much to fix things.

I'd go through a laundry list of aches and pains, except it's a) boring and b) not relevant. They simply exist and each one by itself is not noteworthy. Only the number and timing is weird. Perhaps it's a statistical fluke, or maybe I should take it easy for the next few days.

Putting it Better Then I Can

From a Fark thread on Chivalry:

Chivalry (today) is two things.
1) a code comprising purely symbolic acts.
2) simple respect

For example, Holding a door open for a woman does not imply that she is too weak to do so; rather that you are willing to be supportive in small things.

Chivalry in some ways is the opposite of sexism. Sexism seeks to restrict women to a role. Chivalry does not.

Also, it's sexism if the only reason you hold the door open for them is to check out their rear-end. That's just a fringe benefit and you should hold the door open regardless of how nice their rear-end looks. But then, I hold the door open for whoever's behind me regardless of gender.
