Predictably, I am posting today. Why? Because it's the first of the month, that's why! New Beginning! Fresh Slate! (oh geez. how many times have I done this?) There is also some kind of contest thingy called Post a Day(?), or something, going on at BlogHer too, and because I am a sucker for that … Continue reading So Totally Predictable

750 Words Freakout– Reconsidered
I was all in a dither yesterday because 750 words went on the blink. I kept pushing "force save" and cursing and gnashing my teeth and getting up from the chair, then sitting down again, checking every 2 minutes to see if the site had saved my words. I was freaking because my streak of … Continue reading 750 Words Freakout– Reconsidered
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
Buried Things Can Be Rescued
I spent most of the morning glued to CNN watching the miners (#11-14) get rescued. Could not get enough of it. Was completely entranced, fascinated, touched, and thrilled by the whole spectacle. I cannot imagine a worse fate than being buried alive 2,000 feet under the ground. But I am ashamed in the face of … Continue reading Buried Things Can Be Rescued
Portland, Here I Come.
This time tomorrow I will be with my daughter and son-in-law in Portland, Oregon where we will drink our Starbucks lattes in Em's new store, drive out to the coast and fly kites on the beach, drink wine and eat tapas. Scott will play his guitar, and I will pet Nia, their chihuahua I will … Continue reading Portland, Here I Come.
Emily’s Birthday
I've been sitting here trying to find a good picture of Emily, my daughter, but it turns out I don't have a good picture of her on this computer. But in my mind? In my mind, I have a whole museum of pictures. Gallery after gallery of framed tableaus: Pictures of her in her bassinette, … Continue reading Emily’s Birthday
Getting “Schlitzered”
Took a great hike on Saturday on the Black Forest Trail with Tim and Jackie. The weather could not have been better and the company more inspiring. Tim and Jackie are so fit and athletic and run on batteries, I swear. Jackie got up and ran 13 miles before we even started hiking, and we … Continue reading Getting “Schlitzered”
Bonner’s Wedding
Tomorrow I'm taking off for Virginia to go to a friend's wedding. I hate weddings. I have been to more than my fair share of disaster weddings where it was abundantly clear to most, if not all of the guests, that this was going to be one of those "starter marriages" where the parties involved … Continue reading Bonner’s Wedding
The Story of Main Street Yoga, part 2
MY FIRST REAL LIVE YOGA TEACHER I started practicing yoga on my own when I was a senior in college in 1975-76. I got the Richard Hittleman 28 Day Yoga Program book (I wrote about it here.) and started. At the same time I was also filling out applications for grad school and taking the … Continue reading The Story of Main Street Yoga, part 2
Tiger Woods
I made it a point to turn on the TV this morning and watch Tiger Woods' first statement since his, (ahem) indiscretions. I expected him to admit he had made mistakes. I expected him to say he was sorry for hurting his wife, disappointing all the kids who looked up to him, and making a … Continue reading Tiger Woods
