Lent and other challenging things: an amateur's yoga account
First of all, let me begin by saying that I am currently laying on my futon with laptop in lap – defeated, having completed somewhere between one-third to one half of a power yoga DVD that I received over two years ago for my birthday in response to my request for something to “get me…

Facebook
This evening, I spent too many minutes pouring over old Facebook photos. This all started because I’m in the middle of moving into an apartment and am putting all of my clothes into boxes.

Flight Paths
I just took the moving walkway past a bronze statue of a bald eagle, body stamped with the print of our national flag, wings outstretched over valiant soldiers.
