Do you need an Adventure, an Experience, or a Vacation?
I just returned from a short family vacation with G’s family. Not all of them, just eight of us in a big house on a lake in Virginia. The house had kayaks, but we brought a SUP and some blow-up floating things. G rented a pontoon boat so she could whip the kids around the … Continue reading Do you need an Adventure, an Experience, or a Vacation?
The Project-Driven Life: Summer Version

The First of 94 Days

The other day I was clicking through my photos and the … Continue reading The Journey Back

Then a day of sprinkly little rains, followed by a touch of hot-hot-hot, with a dollop of humid on top. Then a big soaking rain, with an … Continue reading Summer love
Walking the Yard
Yesterday I taught my 6 AM yoga class, lifted weights with Tim at the gym, spent an hour with Holosync. Then I took a 30 minute killer Spin class with Amy, ate lunch, did some housework while listening to the This American Life podcast, showered, and taught my 5:30 yoga class. This morning I put … Continue reading Walking the Yard
