I have decided to join a blog challenge for this month. It's called Reverb10 and everyday the organizers throw out a prompt and all the bloggers who join write on that subject. This is really good for me because it's hard to come up with content every day. Plus, I really love the challenge of … Continue reading Reverb10 – Day 1: One Word

The Tao of Weights
New equipment at the gym! They replaced all the old Precor stuff with Hoist! So exciting! And best of all, this Hoist stuff moves as you push it, and press it, and pull on it, which makes it almost, (but not entirely,) amusing. It was good to get back to it today, I must say. … Continue reading The Tao of Weights
Picking Up The Ball
The longer the ball stays on the ground, the heavier it gets. Ever noticed that? One day of not posting grows into 2, then a week, then the whole month skitters by annnnnd ...there you have it. Fumble. An object in motion stays in motion, but an object at rest will stay at rest until … Continue reading Picking Up The Ball
What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Pudding, Podcasts and a New Series of Beginner Yoga
Let me start with the pudding. It was rice. Made with milk and half-and-half and sugar and I stirred it endlessly and carefully and tenderly and added vanilla and raisins and cinnamon at the end. I followed the recipe in the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook, which, as I've mentioned before, is the Scientific American of cookbooks. … Continue reading Pudding, Podcasts and a New Series of Beginner Yoga
The Power of Intention
It's been disturbing me that I've gotten rather spotty in my posting here. Every morning I wake up and check on myself, mainly to read (and cringe at) what kind of sleepy nonsense I managed to type into this space before I hit "publish" and then the pillow. It's just that it's November, and I … Continue reading The Power of Intention
November One-to-One
This past weekend we took a fun + business-y little over-nighter trip to Rochester. I had an appointment on Saturday at the Apple store for a lesson on podcasting. People have asked me from time to time to make a yoga CD that they can use at home when they can't get to class. I … Continue reading November One-to-One
Kitchen Cabinet Project pics
So this won't be a "talky" kind of post, but rather a "picturey" kind of post. Pictures of cabinets. oooohhhh ahhhhh thrilling! It was my first do-it-yourselfy thing and it turned out all right. Nothing went wrong. Everyone involved is still on friendly terms. There were no trips to the ER--which is my definition of … Continue reading Kitchen Cabinet Project pics
Finding a Hot Track in the NYTimes
Spent the weekend finishing up the kitchen cabinets. (They turned out beautiful, too. Pictures tomorrow, promise!) And on Sunday rewarded myself with a luscious "Day of Sloth" with the Sunday NY Times. I haven't been getting the Times lately because I was finding it hard to finish one before the next Sunday rolled around and … Continue reading Finding a Hot Track in the NYTimes
Cats and Dogs
This is going to be a post about dogs. 1. Dogs are not cats. 2. What a dog needs and what a cat needs are as different as the dogs and cats themselves. Some people are strictly dog people and some people are strictly cat people and some people are both. Even if you do … Continue reading Cats and Dogs
