I'm back from the Microsoft TechEd conference ... with some very sore feet (literally blisters), a few extra pounds from all the ingested crappola one basically survives on at these tech conferences and a lot of really cool information swarming around in my head. No yoga.... Monday I got up at 5am and went to practice but I discovered the commute time didn't lend itself to practicing in the morning and so I haven't practiced since sometime way last week :( I'm sure I can barely touch my toes and, if I can find a way to do that, my stamina won't last 20 minutes. I really do need to find someway to practice in the morning. The Ashtanga Center's Mysore classes are from 7-9 which is impossible for me due to kids having to get here and there. I don't know of any real early morning classes... I keep thinking the answer is I simply must practice at home but it seems such a waste to not utilize the very good teachers I have at my disposal.

My kids have seemingly grown overnight... The Son is very into creating board games right now... it's truly amazing. He draws them out, they have intricate and well thought out rules. I think his brain works just like mine... I can't decide if I'm really really happy or if I feel scared about that! The Daughter is very into gymnastics right now and I'm starting her in a kids yoga class this week. I hope she loves it.

This week my "California accent" was very much shoved in my face... I can't believe most people would think calling up a "beach pizza place" and saying "Dude, are you guys slammed right now?" is, well, wierd?
