The day itself was cold, but sunny, which was a real treat after yesterday's dreariness. So as I was washing up and contemplating going into my room and doing my practice, it occurred to me that, “Shit! Today is Friday. Friday is Yoga Workout Day at the studio! And even though I was close to … Continue reading Just a Little End-of-the-Week Rant

The Colonoscopy Song
I took a friend to get a colonoscopy today and made several observations: #1. The "knock-out" drug for this "same day surgery" procedure appears to be pretty darned awesome. My friend woke up singing the theme song to You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown which forever more will be known to me as "The Colonoscopy Song." … Continue reading The Colonoscopy Song
If I Had A Hammer…
I have some good ideas for some entrepreneurs who might like to make some good money: teach real-life skills to people who don't have them. Like me. So, say you know your way around woodworking tools: circ saw, band saw, hammer, etc. Do you realize how many people out there never took a basic shop … Continue reading If I Had A Hammer…
Eating Little Tastes of Food Is Good
Recently I updated my computer's operating system to Lion and tonight I just tried to upload a picture and IPhoto doesn't work anymore. This is REALLY DISTURBING! I have become really attached to IPhoto ever since I got my MacBook Pro and I have spent a lot of time in there organizing pictures into Events, … Continue reading Eating Little Tastes of Food Is Good
Finding the Teacher’s Voice
I have been thinking about my teaching more than usual these days because I am giving a lot more time to my personal practice. I think my personal practice is really good for my teaching because as I experience poses in my own body I am more able to articulate what might be going on … Continue reading Finding the Teacher’s Voice

I did not wake up at my best today. It rained all night. And I was awakened in the middle of … Continue reading When Plinky Eats My Post
Yet Another Post About Streaking
I am currently nursing along a little baby yoga streak. As of today, it's 18 days old. (It could have been 23 days old except that on Day 5, I skipped a day and had to start over, according to The (My) Rules.) I am going up to my home yoga room every day and … Continue reading Yet Another Post About Streaking
Feel Like a Natural Woman
Last night I watched the DVD I bought recently called "Yoga Woman." It was decent. It was a documentary with interviews with all the marquee women yoga teachers: Patricia Walden, Seane Corn, Angela Farmer, Donna Farhi, Colleen Saidman Yee, and others. One thing I noticed was that except for maybe Seane Corn and Donna Farhi, … Continue reading Feel Like a Natural Woman
I Do Not Need An IPhone
This morning started with a massive software upload that now allows me into the CLOUD. My Touch and my Ipad now have new apps, and everything syncs with everything without the computer. All I have to do is plug my Touch or my Ipad in to recharge it and it syncs with everything across platforms. … Continue reading I Do Not Need An IPhone
Sunday Dinner
Much to my delight, G has been bitten by the trail running bug. Last weekend we participated in the Ives Run Trail Challenge and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,-- which is saying something, because neither of us like to run. But for some reason, running in the woods feels better, less like work, and more … Continue reading Sunday Dinner
