At the YMCA in Buenos Aires, on Reconquista or some street with a similar name there are buckets to catch the water that is dripping on the inside of the room on the third floor: gymnastics may be practiced here to some degree. And I went there with a feeling that my body needed movement, with effort, and purpose (that of being -fit- seemed simple enough). And I moved around a bit on machines and mats, but decided not to shower before vacating the premesis despite my sweat and stench. On the street I found that I did feel -better- by some standard. I thought about how maybe it would be best not to keep this to myself. So here it is.
