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
Puppets, continued.
So to continue the puppet theme from yesterday, I went online to see if I could find a ready-made Inner Wisdom Guide puppet. The first place I thought to look was Folkmanis, a company that makes the BEST PUPPETS EVER! If you go to any upscale toy store like Alphabet Soup on the Ithaca Commons, … Continue reading Puppets, continued.
Pudding, Puppets and Chocolate Covered Pomegranates
Tonight has to be a full moon. How else to account for this much wackadoo-ism? (and btw, is there an “h” in wackadoo? Whackadoo? Or not?) I stayed up super-late last night writing and watching The Biggest Loser, so there was no getting up for Ashtanga this morning. Boo. Had the bril idea of going … Continue reading Pudding, Puppets and Chocolate Covered Pomegranates
The Courage to Appear Weak
Today is December 1st and I did my ashtanga practice this morning for the first time since my injury almost a month ago. It wasn’t perfect, but it felt soooo gooood. I found myself being much kinder to myself, finding my inability to do certain things interesting rather than maddening. When I got home from … Continue reading The Courage to Appear Weak
If The Shoe Fits
I am of one the happiest people I know. It’s taken me a long time to get to this present state of happification, but I am definitely here now. And here to stay. This evening I walked into my studio after what seemed like weeks of being away (it was only 6 days), fell down … Continue reading If The Shoe Fits

I am sitting on the first leg of the return flight home from Portland. It is the day after Thanksgiving, and the plane is not too full. I am in the middle seat, and in the window seat next to me is a woman with a small child on her lap. (G is on the … Continue reading It’s All Good
Stuffed
My friend Jerry recently commented that he’s managed to say the same weight since college by always staying a little bit hungry. This is also a yogic eating principle. You are supposed to eat to only 80% of satiation. There should always be 20% of emptiness in the stomach after a meal. This way of … Continue reading Stuffed
Greetings from Portland, OR
The sun is shining and there are roses blooming on the bushes beside the deck here. What? Roses? The day before Thanksgiving???!! I’ll take it! It was a long day of flying yesterday. Elmira to Detroit. Here I am sipping a Chai Latte in the Detroit airport, still smelling fresh, looking good. And then … Continue reading Greetings from Portland, OR
Da Plane, Da Plane
Blogging first: I am sitting in seat 21 E (Window) of a Delta jet, flying somewhere over the middle of the country, blogging. There is Wifi on this flight. Free Wifi no less, compliments of Ebay, to all Delta flyers this holiday season. I was just now composing an email to Emily when she popped … Continue reading Da Plane, Da Plane
New Computer
Today I got my new computer and I’m working on it now. I got a MacBook Pro 13 inch laptop. It’s sweet, but it feels weird. The touch of the keys is really different, and I kinda miss the grime and the filth and the crumbs in between the keys of my Dell. I’ll get … Continue reading New Computer
