 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.

Speaking of pools … I’ve got my pass for the community pools.  The pools open later this month. There’s one here in my neighborhood, I can walk to the pool.  ...

My Sunday adventure

 Wantagh Park. That’s not a real lighthouse, it’s just for decoration. There’s a marina. But I like the fitness trail. A lot of the coastline is off limits.   But there’s a lot to see. You can see how windy the park is, the way the trees grow … I wonder if Charlie Brown was here… You can see Jones’s Beach across the water. I really enjoyed my walk.
