I wonder if the girls who scooped up Mick Jagger's leftover pizza crusts from his plate, at the old Fellini's in Little Five Points, when he was in town, years ago, to shoot the movie, "Free Jack," still have the crusts?

Dylan used to drag me when we went for a walk. It was miserable to be at the other end of the leash from him. I worked with him, and worked with him, and, today, I was pleased to note that Dylan is almost as easy, now, to walk as Morisson. HUGE obstacles can be overcome!!

I'm tired. I had good news at The Endocrinologist's Office, but I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Good night my pals.

Up at 7:37. As well as coffee, I am sipping on a drink of apple cider vinegar, & water, touched with stevia. It is a refreshing drink that does wonders for my acid reflux. Kudos to Rich Morarre, & the others who turned me onto this concoction; you have save me from pain, & you have spared me the big cost of the little pills that that I have long bought from the pharmacy; knowledge is king, and friendship is golden.

Coffee is The King of my morning. The Good News from The Endocrinologist's office is that my diabetes is way in check. It is so in check that The Good Doctor took me off of Glipizide, which I have been on for years. I think that it is always good when you can be on less medication. He wants me to take fish oil pills, and to continue eating right, and exercising. Yeah!!

I took a morning Yoga class, today, because I can't take my usual evening Yoga class due to work. It was an exhilerating class. I feel very relaxed right now, as I eat chips and salsa for lunch.

Up at 6:05. I am really irritated with how Microsoft Corporation can just hijack your computer, to install updates, and reconfigure, whenever they want to. It seems like they should ask first. Frigging Hitler-like behavior, it is. Anyway, welcome to a bright, and beautiful new day: all things are possible!!! Smile!

‎"Yoga is the cessation of movements in the consciousness."--BKS Iyengar


When I was new to Iyengar Yoga, it was all I could do to keep up in class. I was overweight, and very unlimber. The good thing about this, was that I was totally focused on The Yoga, when I was in class, because it took everything that I had to keep up with what was going on in the class.

I had no thoughts of over things; things such as prospective love, rent payments due, a job that needed to be found did not enter into my mind. I have been on the Iyengar Yoga mat for three years, now; and I am by no means an expert at the art, but where I could not see my toes, three years ago, I can now touch them.

Too often, though, in class, my mind wanders from where it should be. When I find the instructor talking about things that I do not understand, I start thinking of things that I do understand, such as which paycheck will allow me to get new handlebars for my bike.

I have always had this mind wandering issue. As far back as second grade, when I sat at my little wooden desk, in front of the nun, my mind would leave the classroom, and focus on things that I found more interesting than the punctuation lesson at hand. Does this indicate some sort of limited attention span? Do I need some sort of a pill to help me concentrate better in Yoga?

I can smell the metal on the pot, that is on the stove, as it gets warmer. It reminds me that I am boiling eggs, and to, not yet, head out the door with the dogs for a walk.

I just paid ten dollars to a bike shop so that my front brake pad would not rub up against my bicycle wheel, and it is still rubbing up against the wheel. This is the second bike shop where I have taken this bike for this problem. What's up bike mechanic people!!? No sales, today, nothing on the board. I haven't made a sale since Monday.

Most everyone, today, asked to be "taken off the list," or clicked, or slammed the phone in my ear. Tomorrow is another sale's day!

If the first two pages are any indication, I just started reading a book that is going to be incredible. It is called, "A River Runs Through It," and it is by Norman Maclean. I dug the movie, "Black Swan:" it was weird, and intense. Bob Dylan once sang, or said, "You'll know that you're at the bottom, when you've reached the top." I wonder if Bob ever needed anti-depressants?

I am also starting to read, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," by Roald Dahl. Our second opera is called, "The Golden Ticket," and it is based on this book. Hmmmmm, I wouldn't mind some chocolate right now!!

I wonder who Dylan's dad was? Or Morisson's? Or Kobain's? Or Jaggar's? Or Rue Paul's? Or Prynce's? Do animals not need a father in their lives?
