She made the students look up from their phones and smile at her. I’d be walking the South Hall Mall and hear an ear-deafening screech from a student, far off in the distance, who had spied her. “Cor-geeeeee!!!!” Students would mob her like a celebrity. And, like the complete diva she was, she’d sit … Continue reading Boomer: Big Dog On Campus
Favorite Things (at the moment)
I thought I'd write a post about things I’m liking these days a la the Tim Ferris and Austin Kleon weekly newsletters. So here goes: What I’m reading: Murakami. Can’t get enough. I’m on a jag now. Finished A Wild Sheep Chase and was told that it’s part of a “Rat series.” (Who knew?) … Continue reading Favorite Things (at the moment)
Power Yoga
When you take an hour out of your day to do some stretching in a structured way, guided by someone with some expertise, you are making a conscious choice to increase your power. Power can be thought of as “energy” or “personal vitality” and that kind of power is a known virtue of a structured … Continue reading Power Yoga
My First Book Group
So while I learned a lot from you, and don’t regret getting to know you, we’ll never make it as a couple. We just want different things.
Happy 14th Anniversary Main Street Yoga!
This Thursday, March 1st, is the studio’s 14th anniversary. I remember buying the mats and the blankets. Ordering and putting together office furniture, designing a logo and ordering a sign, setting up a bank account as a DBA (Doing Business As).

I did the digital declutter in January and started a book club in February, now I really … Continue reading Giving Up Procrastination For Lent
My Rules for a Book Group
Last night was the first meeting of the book group. At this first meeting, I felt I needed to leverage my power as Group Instigator and Generous Benefactor Of Meeting Space, to impose a vision, my vision, of how this should roll. Without being too overbearing, but, I hope, making it clear that my continuing … Continue reading My Rules for a Book Group
Defending The Beauty Of My Kitchen
I can’t tell you how much I’m still thrilled with the new kitchen. I’m noticing how the light is changing in there as the season changes day by day. I fall in love with this new space every day. Ever since the renovation I have been especially sensitive to clutter and mess. I no … Continue reading Defending The Beauty Of My Kitchen
Digital De-Clutter Re-Cap
It was a hard, but insightful month. I hope I can stay aligned.
Digital De-clutter Week 3: The Big Takeaway
Yesterday I broke down and bought a paper paper. (Real newspapers are allowed on this Digital Declutter.) I got The Sunday New York Times. It was an irritating and filthy experience. And I’m not even referring to the content. I forgot how newspapers make your hands black, and how you can’t adjust the font or … Continue reading Digital De-clutter Week 3: The Big Takeaway
