39 people came to the Yoga Challenge yesterday. And 39 people came today, too. Not all the same people, but some were the same. It's funny that the same number came on both days. I am losing track of the days of the week already. I know that today is "Day 2." Beyond that, not … Continue reading Recommedation Letter and Losing Track of the Days

Spring Decorations
One reason I could never be an elementary school teacher is bulletin boards. All teachers spend a lot of time making their rooms interesting and stimulating environments for their students, but elementary teachers go hog-wild, changing things around based on the curriculum and the seasons. It's nice. I approve. But I could never get into … Continue reading Spring Decorations
Shoe Buying Angst
Buying a measly pair of running shoes shouldn't cause me all this angst. I found myself in Williamsport this afternoon and remembered this cool running store where the staff measures your feet and checks your pronation and everything, then guides you to the best shoe for your foot. What place does that anymore, huh? Yeah. … Continue reading Shoe Buying Angst
Kaddish
Today on my walk through campus on the way to my class, I passed a guy sitting on a bench reading Allen Ginsburg's Kaddish. First, I was amazed that: 1) he wasn't sitting on that bench smoking a cigarette; and 2) that his head wasn't buried in some kind of electronic device; and 3) that … Continue reading Kaddish
St. Paddy’s Day
I went to Wegmans today and because it is St. Patrick's Day they were selling corned beef and cabbage dinners for $7. There were quite a few people in line to buy them, too. And to promote this, there was a kid, I'd guess he was 13 or 14, dressed as a leprechaun. His outfit … Continue reading St. Paddy’s Day
I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Imagine what would have happened if the artist who drew Where's Waldo? had put just a little more space around Waldo? We would have picked him out immediately, right? When there is just a little more space around things, they come into view; we can see them. They can move and breathe and make choices. Today when … Continue reading I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Flower Power
All winter I watered this thing. All winter it didn't do much of anything. The best that I could say about it was that it wasn't dying. And now that the snowdrops are up, and the tulips are threatening, this thing has gotten competitive. It has been sitting in my mud room window and looking … Continue reading Flower Power
The Problem with Facebook
Thanks to my power juice, and rest, and lots of reading, I think my bout of the crud is on the way out. I felt energetic enough this afternoon to go to Wegmans and re-stock the fruits and veggies. In the Nature's Marketplace section I ran into one of my friends and yoga students and … Continue reading The Problem with Facebook
A Good Place
Do you know the Holstee Manifesto? It's amazing, it really is, (I have a copy of it hanging in my studio). It has even, so I hear, sparked a small movement of people trying to write their own manifestos; trying to write down, in list style, what they stand for, even if they often fall … Continue reading A Good Place
De-cluttering. A start.
I am racing around trying to get out of here by 10:30 this morning. We are going up to Ithaca to bomb around, perhaps catch a movie at Cinemapolis, then we are meeting our dear friends Zee and Blue for dinner at Madeline's at 6. I am kind of regretting this Lenten sacrifice of not … Continue reading De-cluttering. A start.
