AMA Recommends Porch Sitting

Delta, CO — News of Bibs and Bonnets – May 25, 2015

In a total reversal from previous suggestion the American Medical Association now heartily urges all Americans to porch sit for at least two hours per day. Discounting long-held views as to the benefits of exercise the AMA even went so far as to imply that too much running around could be harmful to the general attitude.
A new pamphlet “Safe, Effective Porch Sitting” is available at your local pharmacy. A companion booklet “The Porch – The Front Soul” asks some reaching questions, probing the psycho-neurological condition of a person who would actually buy a home without a porch on the front of it.
Porch sitting, as most of us know, if a relaxing logical shutdown where the sitter engages in any number of projects from sleeping in a hammock to painting the thing. Often it is experienced as a short pause but can last all day and in to the night when not curtailed by other socialization. It is a wonderful way to wake up in the morning no matter where the sun might be.
An often-asked question in response to these urgent conceptions herein and therein is: “But what if I don’t got a porch?” The answer, say the docs, is to get one.” – Small Mouth Bess
