I took out the slow cooker today. (Must be fall, huh?) Tonight I needed to rush home from yoga and be finished eating by 7 PM because tomorrow I am having the Community Diagnostic Blood Analysis done. For a mere $49 I will allow a fledgling phlebotomist to poke me about 17 times in the … Continue reading 100 New Recipes, #2
The Real Story
So here is the real story . I’ve been taking the advice of Chris Brogan in his great book Trust Agents and stepping out of the safety of “Lurker-ville “ What this means is that I am blogging more myself, and I'm starting to comment on blogs I enjoy, telling the authors what I like, … Continue reading The Real Story
Yeah, I’m a Fan Girl
Today I got an email from Steven Pressfield’s publicist. Seems I’ve been foisting The War of Art on all my friends so relentlessly and with such vigor and over-the-top-ness, that news of all this foisting has finally reached Steven’s “people,” and they wrote, begging, in the name of all my friends, and all that’s decent, … Continue reading Yeah, I’m a Fan Girl
Water Resistant
I have made the “Drink More Water” resolution every New Year’s Eve for at least the past 20 years. No lie. I go on week-long streaks of water-drinking, then revert back to “camel” mode where I don’t drink much of anything (except my morning coffee) for months on end. Even though Tim wrote it explicitly … Continue reading Water Resistant
On The Rocks
I am currently drinking an electrolyte replenishment drink called “Zenergize.” I have a blood blister on the bottom of my left big toe. I am walking down the steps one at time, verrry slooowly whispering, “Ouch, ouch, shit, ouch.” I got home from the Dam Half Trail Challenge yesterday afternoon, dropped my bag of smelly … Continue reading On The Rocks
100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia

I got the idea from Orbitalmechanic, a LJer I have followed for a number of years. She does this, and … Continue reading 100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia
Mission Statement
I am reading a book called Trust Agents now and there is a section on setting goals. Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, the authors, are all for goal-setting. How will you know where to put your energies if you don’t have a direction? they argue. I understand this, I do. And I agree with it. … Continue reading Mission Statement
Yoga as Release Valve
I practice yoga everyday. For me, practicing yoga is spiritual hygiene. I would no sooner skip a day than skip a day of brushing my teeth or showering. Most people I know who practice yoga do it once a week. And when they skip many weeks in a row? Well, it’s never pretty. They come … Continue reading Yoga as Release Valve
Professor Mike
This morning, late as usual, I put on my yoga clothes, slipped a hoodie over my shoulders and walked out into HOLY SHIT IT’S COLD OUT HERE! But the sky was perfectly clear, and there was just the smallest sliver of a moon with some amazing star or planet hanging right next to it, like … Continue reading Professor Mike
4 Minutes, 33 Seconds
Last night I went to Christine Moulton’s recital. (Christine’s the one who has me hooked on Ashtanga and keeps me inspired.) For her “day job” she teaches flute in the MU Music Department (she’s a superstar). For her recital last night she enlisted a guitarist, an English horn player and a soprano. The whole thing … Continue reading 4 Minutes, 33 Seconds
