I have started thinking about New Year's Resolutions lately. Not that I am going to make any, but I am thinking about things that I would like to do, or see happen in the coming 12 months.

Spinning Plates on Sticks
I just realized that it's been almost a month since I've written here and there are actually few people who still subscribe to this blog who may be wondering WHY they do, given that there is clearly nothing happening here.

Just a Little End-of-the-Week Rant

And even though I was close to … Continue reading Just a Little End-of-the-Week Rant

Yet Another Post About Streaking
I am currently nursing along a little baby yoga streak. As of today, it's 18 days old. (It could have been 23 days old except that on Day 5, I skipped a day and had to start over, according to The (My) Rules.) I am going up to my home yoga room every day and … Continue reading Yet Another Post About Streaking
