  • 28 Days to 108 Sun Salutations

    So, I needed something to prepare myself for an online yoga class that I have agreed to teach *live* weekly. I must have been feeling weak in my desire to do something a bit more meaningful when I agreed to do it. πŸ€ͺ In any case, to ensure that my ankle is up for it…

  • A Bit of Holiday in Western France

    Although our lives are admittedly in the realm of “every day is a holiday”, we did take a week to really be on holiday. M has always wanted to surf in the Atlantic, so we headed that direction from our place in the Var, France. To break up the journey a bit, we revisited a…

  • Start of Summer Reading

    One of the best parts of beach days is the uninterrupted reading time. Since we have been on the Atlantic Ocean seaside, which is famous/popular for surfing and jumping waves, I have been enjoying time on the sand in the sun. Being more of a land-lover keeps me well away from the waves that I…

  • Reminders to Self

    It really doesn’t take long to follow the path of least resistance and return to old habits – whether deemed good or bad. M came back on Sunday. On Monday, we went out with friends for lunch and an evening out. My stomach was a bit in shock with the return to booze and food,…

  • Thoughts on AI, copyright, etc.

    This is really a kind of stream of consciousness post on the topic as I’m formulating my thoughts to post on my writing spaces. Teachers around the world are in a bit of an uproar over the current dominance of AI bots that are getting a lot of attention these days. Some teachers feel threatened…

  • Reboot Detox 2023

    Every now and then, I try to do a fasting lemon water detox. The longest I have done is ten days of just lemon water throughout the day and no food with the exception of a smoothie at the end of the day when my brain thinks it wants food. The shortest I have done…

  • Bonjour de France! πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

    We are officially on our summer holidays! β˜€οΈπŸŽ‰ Although, to be fair, it doesn’t look or feel that much different from our regular days since neither of us “work” all day long. Plus, M is always “working”, so even when on holiday he is messaging, fielding calls, etc. Still, the environment has changed and we…

  • Good and Busy Days

    Whenever I try to think back to the days and what I have done or what I do, I find that it is somewhat hard to recollect. πŸ€” I am not sure if it is brain fog 🀯, lack of focus/clarity πŸ˜’, or busyness, or the opposite. In any case, these days have been good.…

  • Doggy Update

    As I’m working on some other writing things at the moment, I thought I’d finish off the week with a little update on the pups! 🐢❀️🐢❀️ Peanut πŸΆπŸ’œ So, Pea(nut) is doing alright. She’s not quite the same as before her viper bite, but she’s running around fine. Some notable changes in her, though, are…

  • Happy 4th of July

    Every now and again I like to show my patriotic side. Even though most of the world sees the US as a kind of sh*t show, I am still American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ in my heart and soul. Occasionally, someone will ask me if I would give up my US passport and try to get citizenship in…
