EUGENIZATION.

Today, one of my clients mentioned to me during our workout that she had received a catalog in the mail “that contained those kettleball things (sic) and other interesting Russian things.”

And I thought, “Why is Dragon Door Publications sending her a catalog?”

Of course, the answer is that her name is probably on a master mailing list of Upper Westsiders who have ordered or purchased a fitness-related product, and that John Du Cane or somebody else from Dragon Door bought that list from Melissa Data or some other similar service and sent her a catalog. That’s how it works.

But I had to admit, the thought of a 65 year old female attorney with serious joint maladies and osteopenia doing Pistols with a 2 pood kettlebell struck me as theater of the absurd of the highest order.

I wonder how Pavel’s doing these days…
