Punishingly Intricate

I dislike having fabric flapping about when I’m doing yoga so I wear leggings for yoga not yoga pants. Ironically!

Btw, I’m now a Certified Yoga Trainer!! Pretty sure that means I can now start my own cult!! Anyone interested??

Our wings are not tired.

I'm in for lisah cult! I loved yoga in my youth and enjoy it well enough when I (rarely) go now, but mostly it annoys me that my body just won't do a lot of what it used to. I am still hella good at standing on one leg for long periods of time and have lovely posture, per my physical therapist, who was appropriately impressed by those skills.

My big news is that my oven died here in the condo so I am getting an induction range [link] which I've always been interested in using. Of course now I have to get new pans, but that is okay since I really only have 3 I like much and I can bring them to NY with me.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Sorry lisah, I've been a Trekkie, rooted for the Bruins in the 90s, and was immersed in multiple branches of Buffy fandom, so my cult dance card is already full.

I heard yesterday that I was accepted into the clinical trial, so I'll be getting my heart ablation on May 5. These cardiology folks don't waste any time! I'm used to "the specialist might have an opening for you in three months," and then having to make lots of calls to get anything set up. I guess it's good that I won't have too much time to build up worry before the procedure is over and done with.

That's awesome that they are able to get you in so quickly!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks for the messages, 'ffistas.

Friday would have been mom's 78th birthday so we had a Happy Birthday bouquet and all the cards she'd received on a table at her visitation. My youngest sister would like it officially noted that even though she died four days before her birthday she should get full credit for the year, so mom was officially 78.

I'm in, lisah! All my yoga poses are belong to you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had some ups and downs this past week.

Ups: Spent this past weekend in Toronto at FilKOntario. Got to see people I haven't seen in a while and heard some wonderful music.

Downs: Mr. S had a major meltdown at school with aggression towards a fellow student and staff. He's been suspended for the rest of the week. He's staying with the nanny since Gary's away at the latest round of the building code hearings.(He gets back late tomorrow)

(Poor Gary had to get up at stupid o'clock Sunday to catch an 8:15 flight.)

Heart~ma, Matt!

I am so ready to join a lisah cult!

Laura, let me know if you want any induction ready pans at wholesale (offer limited to my company’s brands, other restrictions that I don’t know off the top of my head may apply)

Thanks, -t. I may reach out after you get back from your adventures. Also, tell all! How is it going?

Really good! Although typing on a moving train is a challenge. I’ll be in one place for almost a week starting tonight, so I’ll update more during that time, I expect
