Yesterday was a chaotic day. The phone rang early in the afternoon, “Hello sir, I am from the Kansas City Hospital, are you mister Joey Dalton, brother of Jack Dalton?” My heart accelerated and my vision blurred … “Yes, that’s me, what’s the matter with Jack?”. ”Nothing serious mister Dalton, but you better come to the hospital right away … your brother needs you”.

I don’t know how I succeeded in getting at the hospital unharmed … after ignoring all traffic lights and making many suicide short cuts. I even shaved while driving.

Jack was nursed on the seventh floor, I took the stairways, not wanting to loose time waiting for the elevators.

Looking for Jack, a friendly nurse took me with my arm, pushed an oxygen mask over my head and made me sit down.
”Relax mister Dalton, your head looks like a huge pomegranate and we don’t want it to explode, do we?”
After some time I came to my senses. “Where is Jack???” I shouted. At the same moment my brother Averell arrived … laughing like a mad man, tears running all over his face. “Hi, bro”, he managed to say, “… did you see Master Jack? Listen … relax and enjoy …”

The story of Master Jack

Jack was a bit restless the latest months. “I am getting old … my bones hurt and I feel stiff like a wooden plank” he often complained.
”You are in the best of your years, darling”, his wife Cathrine said, “… do something about it!”.
Jack did.

The same day he downloaded a computer-aided Yoga training, turned on the volume of his PC speakers and started to do some basic Yoga exercises.

Now, Cathrine had to do some shopping and arrived home late that afternoon. As soon as she entered the house she heard heartbreaking moaning and yelling. She found Jack in an awkward position.

How hard they tried, they were not able to untangle Jack’s limbs. Cathrine decided to dial 911 …
According to the doctors Jack will be ok in one or two weeks, his muscles need to relax and that may take a lot of time.

I have bought Jack a nice souvenir, so he will always remember his first computer-aided Yoga experience:
