I know a lot of people who don’t like their jobs. I know some that can’t stand their jobs. I know a few who can’t even bear to get out of bed in the morning they hate their job so much. You know what I wish? I wish that every single person who is just … Continue reading Thought Experiment

Leverage This
I came back from vacation with this idea: I need to get fit. More fit. This will involve keeping up my workouts with Tim, running the steps, doing what I call the “Killer Hiller”—a steep uphill climb behind Hemlock on the MU campus. But I also realized that, in addition, I could leverage my ordinary, … Continue reading Leverage This
Reading
When I was in grad school I had to read The Life of Johnson in one week. The unabridged version. (It’s about 6 inches thick.) I set my alarm every day for 5 A.M and read until my eyes bled. And that was just for one class. I had equally extensive readings in two others. … Continue reading Reading

Some of these wipeouts were pretty spectacular, too, I must say. A few times I thought he would come out … Continue reading Fall Down 7, Get Up 8
Watching Bodies at the Beach
Today it’s 100 degrees at the beach and there are thousands of bodies parading around in front of me wearing next to nothing. It’s a good day to watch bodies. I read a stat recently that said that 60% of Americans are overweight. From my beach chair vantage, I’d say that’s about right. The people … Continue reading Watching Bodies at the Beach
What’s a Vacation?
I’m on vacation. Here’s what my vacation looked like this morning: Here’s what it looked like a few hours later: I’m on a crowded beach in Rehoboth, DE. It’s 100 degrees. It’s “Where’s Waldo?” out here. Family dysfunction is on full display It’s probably the last place you’d expect to find me (your yoga teacher) … Continue reading What’s a Vacation?
