We will discuss your personal relationship with gravity and suggest several methods of shedding pounds (in some cases micro-ounces) by letting gravity work for you rather than against you. Among the subjects under discussion will be international travel, bad driving habits, subterranean exploration, lunar observations, barometric pressure, and ocean tides. With luck and concentration, you will leave with a deeper understanding of gravity, free fall, space dust, and a new realization of what is meant by “weight.”
