And still more ramblings

 So you know I drive an older Prius-C.  A compact.  A hybrid that generally gets 40-50 MPG.  It’s got a 9.5 gallon gas tank, which I fill once or twice a month.   Considering gas is over $4/gallon … I love this car. I came out of a store the other night, and there was a large SUV parked next to me.  The owner was loading groceries into his car.  He jokingly asked where the other half of my car was …was I  cruel to respond by bragging about my mileage?   Drew hates it when I talk about mileage.  He drives a Pacifica. Long Island drivers may not be the worse in the world, but they’re certainly in the running.  I’ve stopped commenting on the craziness, but whenever we are in the car Drew feels the need to point out every idiot who thinks turn signals are optional, every loser weaving in and out of traffic, etc., every motorcycle riding between lanes, every lunatic who fails to stop at a stop sign … so our car rides are seldom quiet … K...

Saturday 9

  For You Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: For You (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . 1) In this song, Rick Nelson tells us he'd give his girl the stars from sky or a string of pearls. Have you more recently given or received a gift? What was it? Received some chocolates. 2) By the time this record was released, Rick was already a show business veteran. He had been a regular on his family's sitcom,  The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,  since it began airing on radio when he was just 8. ...

  Yeah, back to Eisenhower Park.  Much nicer weather yesterday. Saw something new this time. Nassau’s finest,  on horseback.

More Ramblings

 He’s made himself quite at home in the middle of my backyard, hasn’t he? Take a walk through my neighborhood and you’ll see a lot of his cousins… My latest find on Amazon … considering yoga is my current obsession, I thought the poster was just perfect. And yes, I’m struggling in the class.  And yes, I’m loving every minute of that struggle. I’m learning the language of yoga while I work on my practice (with a little help from the instructors on YouTube). We’re going to a Ducks game Saturday night.  The Ducks are having a great season so far. Current standings: Two games back in a tight division…not bad at all. Wish I could say the same about the Mets.  Sigh. I’m not really into basketball, but even I am feeling a bit of Knicks fever.  They haven’t played in the championship since 1999.  Drew actually watched last night’s game, and he’s not really a fan either ….   Drew’s sister is out of the hospital and has been moved to a rehab facility.  She ...

Inspiration!

  Tao Porchon-Lynch . A yoga master who lived to 101, she taught yoga virtually until the day she died. I’m just starting my yoga journey, but she’s quite the inspiration to even a beginner like me. Thank you,  Alana , for introducing me to her story.
