Comedy of errors on the ground and boy are we lucky (gratitude #25)

May 23, 2008

So, Dave and I took the Cessna-182 from UM Flyers to Tobermory for Memorial Day weekend. Due to the weather, we might have a short long weekend, we might have to come back on Sunday instead of Monday, but I was excited to fly instead of drive. Holiday weekends involve long, long, long waits at [...]

The value of libraries and bookstores (gratitude #24)

May 22, 2008

So, there’s this blog I read, and the author has a book with a really compelling title. I’ve enjoyed his blog posts on the topic, and I had put his book on my Amazon wish list.
In support of my intention to acquire, maintain, and store less stuff, I moved most of my Amazon wish list [...]

A decade in my meditation community (gratitude #23)

May 19, 2008

I just realized that this is my 10th year in the local Siddha Yoga Meditation community. At the time I first went, it was about a block and half from my apartment, but it took me several months to get there. I don’t know the date of my first visit, though it would have been [...]

My blogs about work and walking elsewhere

May 16, 2008

Now and then I post on Pure Visibility’s internet marketing blog - typically posts about our culture, our process, our clients, and events. Recently, the GetDowntown blog featured profiles of folks who, like me, love walking to work. I’m included in the group. But I’m particularly proud of my “Curb Your Car Month Citizen Blog” [...]

Rope Yoga at Vie in Ann Arbor

May 14, 2008

Rope yoga, or Russa yog, started here in Ann Arbor. I have seen the studio on S. State Street (between Washington and Liberty) and the Ann Arbor Observer recently profiled the studio/founders. For some reason I never made it to the State Street studio, it’s one of many Ann Arbor yoga studios I have on [...]

The perfect guest (gratitude #22)

May 10, 2008

Dave invited a visiting colleague from Austria to come north with us for a long weekend. I think he might be the perfect guest.
He likes long walks and is interested in the flower and local history lore we share (even when we’re wrong about the details). He was game to purchase a fishing license [...]

Ann Arbor in Bloom (gratitude #21)

May 5, 2008

It’s the time of year when everything is bursting open - while my tulips have faded, the redbud in the back has finally decided (after several years of skipping flowering and going straight to leaf, just to spite us) that it is, in fact, a redbud. We’re thrilled it has deigned to bloom in our backyard, [...]

Curb Your Car Month - Kick off! (gratitude #20)

May 1, 2008

I love that I live in a walkable city. I love that May is Curb Your Car Month in Ann Arbor. This morning I joined other Curb Your Car Month Ambassadors at City Hall to kick off the month’s activities. How nice to meet up with like minded spirits and celebrate walking to work!
