NE

No, I didn’t misspell me. No, I’m not talking about the northeast or New England.

Today I had planned on going to four thirty yoga. Hot yoga. Yeah, I know. It’s 97 degrees at four o’clock. Hot yoga just doesn’t seem to be the thing to do – especially when you live on a . . . → Read More: NE

The Landscape of Aging

The summer cardio workouts are out at Koko Fit Club. Summer Hike is already my favorite. While I’m “hiking” on the elliptical Michael Wood fitness trainer is talking to me. Today he started with this quote:

Being fit, or getting fit, at middle age, even if you’ve never worked out before, changes the landscape of . . . → Read More: The Landscape of Aging

My Favorite Kardashian

I know. Kardashian. Popular, and at the same time, not so popular, but doesn’t everyone have a favorite Kardashian? Yeah. That’s what I thought. For me The Kardashians have been the lamest thing pop culture has going. I’ve watched the show. I’ve seen them interviewed on talk shows, but it seems I’ve missed one. (Like . . . → Read More: My Favorite Kardashian

Working Through The Resistance

Working through the resistance was definitely the story of tonight’s Bikram yoga class. Once again it was my beloved teacher, Alex, who always utters just the right words at just the right time. There is always a very good chance of some resistance clogging up my practice. Tonight it was the heat, but if wasn’t . . . → Read More: Working Through The Resistance

Who (or what) Stole Your Peace?

Having my peace stolen is something I wrangle with daily. An aggressive driver jumping in front of me on those famous Cape Cod rotaries grabs my peace and runs with it. A mean or hurtful comment about someone I care about twists my peace right out of my heart. When a quick peek at my . . . → Read More: Who (or what) Stole Your Peace?

15 Days

It’s been 15 days since I’ve done any yoga or exercise and today was the day to begin again. This morning I went to fit club and the workout was good, but my e-BMI (Body Mass Index) was amazing – after 15 days napping and sitting. It was 29.3. I’ve never fallen below 29.7. I . . . → Read More: 15 Days

Staring At The TV

Sitting in my chair Watching the news Staring at the TV

Drinking hot tea Blowing my nose Staring at the TV

Chomping on Halls Taking pills Staring at the TV

Reading books Words with friends (Play with me!) Staring at the TV

After three days Now it seems That my TV

Is staring back at . . . → Read More: Staring At The TV

Hangin’ Out On The Twitter

Did you ever spend time hangin’ out on the Twitter feed, fall into a post and feel like someone spent time in your home and just wrote out your whole life?

That doesn’t often happen to me, so yesterday, when it did, it was a big enough deal to share. Big enough because the . . . → Read More: Hangin’ Out On The Twitter

Which Is Better? Faster or Slower?

Faster. Why? Because if you have a yoga teacher that talks fast the poses don’t last super long and you don’t have to spend the whole class just trying to survive. With a teacher that delivers the dialogue at a good pace, without disturbing the rhythm, you can concentrate on really doing each pose to . . . → Read More: Which Is Better? Faster or Slower?

So Just For Fun

Today I spent the day at my drawing table working on illustrating. Daytime TV bantered gently in the background as I worked. On weekends, when I draw, I put on music, but given my penchant for pop culture, during the week I leave the TV on because something could pop in our culture and I . . . → Read More: So Just For Fun
