Pff

11 February, 2019

I let Kim take me to my first-ever yoga class yesterday. A couple years ago I would have said “Pff” and waved her off. Turns out it was a pretty good workout.

A big part of the yoga class was stretching. Normally I say “Pff” and wave it off — doesn’t do anything. But I feel way less stiff today than usual after a new kind of workout.

I’ve invested a lot of time in learning languages over the years — best way is private lessons with a good teacher. People have suggested Duolingo to me. Normally I say “Pff” and wave it off — waste of time. But a couple weeks ago I decided to give it a shot as a way to practice while on vacation. Turns out it’s a fantastic way to practice, although I wouldn’t use it without also taking private lessons.

Maybe I should Pff less and try more?
