I don't like to run. I used to run, back in the 70s when it was all the rage. I started in graduate school. I ran to blow off steam. I lived on Codfish Falls Rd in Storrs, CT and ran in between bouts of reading The Life of Johnson. I think I was in … Continue reading Marathoning For Mortals

A Groundhog Day Meditation
(this was first published in Mountain Home Magazine) Every year when I flip the calendar from January to February and see “Groundhog Day” written in that little box under February 2nd, I crack up. I wonder what a space alien, coming upon our calendar, might think about this Groundhog Day holiday. What is commemorated on … Continue reading A Groundhog Day Meditation
The End Of The Cleanse
It's officially over. The Cleanse, that is. And I made it all the way through. 21 whole days. Here's how it ended. On Saturday night, after a liquid (Serious Green Juice) breakfast, and a liquid (Cream of Cauliflower soup) lunch, G and I decided to eat a (chewy) dinner out, and maybe have (gasp!) a … Continue reading The End Of The Cleanse
5 Things I Am Grateful For Today

Windowsill Goddesses
So today was a really low energy day. I think the Cleanse is getting to me. I got up and did Ashtanga with Christine and Cheryl at 6:30, came home and drank my Serious Green Juice and then fell asleep during Holosync (holo-snoozed it today). I really wanted coffee. I did 2 loads of wash, … Continue reading Windowsill Goddesses

Cleanse: Day 17
So, it's day 17 of my cleanse. Here is a list of what is going to stay: "Serious" green juice for breakfast. It may not be the "only" thing I eat for breakfast the way it is now, but it's going to be a major player. The big mid-day meal. This is so working for … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 17
Moosewood Vegan Chocolate Cake
On Saturday G and I went up to Ithaca to horse around. It was sunny and we were in need of organic veggies anyway, so it was a good excuse to blow this burg for the afternoon. Went to Moosewood for lunch. Moosewood was a complete treat since we haven’t eaten out at all since … Continue reading Moosewood Vegan Chocolate Cake
An Unexpected Gift
Last night I got an unexpected gift. It wasn't a birthday gift, it was better. Way better. First, a little backstory. Back in August the yoga studio was robbed. Someone took a bank bag containing my entire month's income of cash and checks. It wasn't a lot of money as these things go, especially since … Continue reading An Unexpected Gift
Gifts, part 2
So as you know, I've been on this cleanse for the past 11 days which involves 2 liquid meals a day, and one solid meal. The liquid meals are breakfast and dinner. I am doing the "book" version of this cleanse rather than the "kit." The author, Alejandro Junger, sells a "kit" for $350 that … Continue reading Gifts, part 2
