It's back to school over here! While a bit overwhelming, I'm already learning alot. For example, I always thought the pec muscles were all about chest movements, but have learned that the pectoralis minor is actually more about shoulder movement as it attaches to your scapula! Fun! Took my first exa...

One of my favorites from Rumi: A Community of the Spirit There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye. Open your hands, if you want to be held...

It's challenging, yet rewarding work, and I get to do it with my favorite person in the world (Robert) so we laugh a lot through the sweat.

Otherwise Jane Kenyon - 1947-1995 I got out of bed on two strong legs. It might have been otherwise. I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach. It might have been otherwise. I took the dog uphill to the birch wood. All morning I did the work I love. At noon I lay down with my mate. It might hav...
