There are guys outside pruning the very big trees that shade my house. They climb the trees with ropes, looking something like Tarzan, but fully clothed and carrying chainsaws. The hyperlink has a picture.

From the schedule of a new Yoga studio in the neighborhood:
* Yoga lifestyle clothing by Puma
* Pure Ayurvedic Skincare developed by Christy Turlington and Partners
* Herbal Products to awaken your Yoga
….. in other words, clothes, makeup, and perfume to help everyone else
recognize the state of your inner enlightened being.

I just burned a pot of rice.
Several years ago, I purchased a rice cooker, because I always, invariably, without fail, burn rice on a stove.
This morning, I went to cook some rice and realized the rice cooker needed cleaning. So I put rice and water in a pot, heated to boil, turned down the heat, and went off to make a couple of phone calls & emails. And Voila. Fortunately, the kitchen has a heat detector but no smoke detector. We’ll see if I’ve trashed the very nice, gift Calphalon pot.
One of the benefits of being an adult is that you know your own strengths and weaknesses, and can compensate with workarounds. Then, every once in a while, you ignore old lessons…

I’m back from several weeks on the road, visiting friends and family. Bunches of posts are in the queue…

A very little lizard scampered into my house one day when I opened the
door to the deck. If it can feed itself on things it finds indoors, it’s
doing me a favor, so I haven’t chased it away. It looks brown on the
hardwood molding, mottled on the berber carpet, and albino in the
bathtub. I shoo it from the bathtub if I want bath privileges.
