In the last month I have aquired: a new digital camera a new cell phone a new Ipod and it seems like these pieces of electronica are taking over my entire life. I love this these toys, I really do, but damn! They all need to be learned, and the learning of them is eating … Continue reading Electronica

Kicking March To The Curb
I do believe the April Yoga Challenge is now FILLED!! I am so excited. I spent some time this afternoon cleaning, orienting my Sunday teacher to the ventilation system, the sound system, the location of the toilet paper. G worked on the Excel Spreadsheet with all the names and the boxes for each of the … Continue reading Kicking March To The Curb
A Rumor of Robins
All this week I've been hearing rumors of robin sitings. Facebook Status Update: "I saw a robin!!" Another one: "Robins! Yay!" And another one: "No robins, but redwing blackbirds!" Then yesterday, on the bike path, during my training run, I saw my first robin. It's amazing what the sighting of a little bird sets off … Continue reading A Rumor of Robins
The Pomodoro Technique
Yeah, it's come to this the last few days. I can't seem to focus long enough to finish anything. I start to read and then think I should be cleaning. I start to clean and then think I should be meditating. During meditation I think that I should be running, I can meditate any time, … Continue reading The Pomodoro Technique
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
Gifts, part 1
So I got a bunch of cool things for my birthday and they all seemed to follow the theme of "health and fitness." (go figure, right?) The first thing was a FitBit. It's a whiz-bang pedometer-plus! It will track your movement (walking and running mainly) automatically, and then, if you want to spend the time, … Continue reading Gifts, part 1
A Slow Day, with snow
A little fresh snow, light and fluffy, is a joy on a winter day. We got a few inches overnight, and then a little more during the day. I am slow these past days with no caffeine to jolt me, no wine to mellow me out, no sugar to jazz me. There is something rather … Continue reading A Slow Day, with snow
The Eliminator
Last year we got a new birdfeeder called The Eliminator. It’s a squirrel foiler. As soon as a squirrel jumps on The Eliminator, no food can come out. The weight of the squirrel causes shrouds to descend, metal shrouds, shrouds impervious to sharp squirrel teeth, closing off access to the seed inside the tube. The … Continue reading The Eliminator
Weird Tree Day
Weird day to buy a Christmas tree, but that’s what we did. Weirdly warm. And sunny. What? I’m not complaining but, still. We go to a “cut your own” place with some of the nicest views around here. You stop at the owner’s house where today, nobody was home, but there was a note on … Continue reading Weird Tree Day
