I believe in the "everything in moderation" philosophy.

Everything in moderation? Wife-beating in moderation? How about murdering innocent people in moderation? Guess I find the "everything in moderation" very curious indeed. :-)

I'm not sure what you like to do for exercise, but I prefer a brisk walk or a nice bike ride. ;-)

LOL--great point! The proverb actually comes from 1 Corinthians 9:25, which actually says, "every man that striveth for the mastery is moderate in all things." The word "moderate" there actually means "self-controlled". But "self-control in everything" doesn't sound nearly as appealing. :-0

Good one, I must remember to use that.

I only do housework in moderation.
