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

Aim Really High
I found this link today on Brian Johnson's FB update. It's only a little over 4 minutes. It's about striving for a goal that seems impossible. It inspired me today! http://www.ted.com/talks/viktor_frankl_youth_in_search_of_meaning.html
Pale, Fat, but Wise
Today was one of those rainy spring days--you know the ones: drippy, not especially cold, but dreary. I went to the polls and voted around 11 and was voter number 12 at my precinct. Yeah, 12. Can you say "light turnout?" I wrote in my man John Kesich who is dedicated to seeing that the … Continue reading Pale, Fat, but Wise
One Sick Puppy
One of the best things about animals is their inability to talk. It is such a relief not to have to deal with a whole line of chatter when you walk in the door after a long day. Just give me a lot of tail wagging and ecstatic panting and yelping and maybe a slight … Continue reading One Sick Puppy
My Mother: Goofus
Remember Highlights, the kid's magazine? Yeah. I loved Highlights, especially the Hidden Pictures. But the part of Highlights I remember the most was Goofus and Gallant. Goofus was rude. Gallant was polite. Goofus stole things. Gallant respected the property of others. Goofus lit the cat's tail on fire. Gallant was always kind to animals. And … Continue reading My Mother: Goofus

Gauging My Life
Ever since the end of the Challenge and the end of the Half Marathon I've been really tired and feeling kinda lackluster. It happens. Letdowns happen. Brian Johnson of Philosopher's Notes, quoting one of his favorite authors, says, "When our car runs low on gas, we don't blame the gauge, we simply pull into a … Continue reading Gauging My Life
April Recap
What a weekend! Here is our running "Trybe" before we approached the start line for the River Towns Half Marathon. We all look so happy and fresh and smiley and clean, don't we? Yeah, we didn't end up looking so pretty, but we all finished! We have been training since January in temps ranging from … Continue reading April Recap
Day 30: De-Throning The Iguana
I am sitting here at 1 PM on the afternoon of the last day of the 30 Day Yoga Challenge. Only one more class left, a little party after that, and it will be over. Tomorrow it will be May. Two people made it to the studio every single day this month. Lots made it … Continue reading Day 30: De-Throning The Iguana
Guest Post: Jennifer Schmid
This is a Guest Post by Jennifer Schmid (www.jenniferschmid.com) who used to practice at Main Street Yoga before moving to California 2 years ago. While she was here, we taught a 6-Week Yoga for Weight Loss session, which I have to say, was one of the absolute highlights of my collaborative teaching experiences. Jennifer did … Continue reading Guest Post: Jennifer Schmid
