Tango Argentina
Finally I managed to make it to the free Sunday Tango classes in Ashland. The first Sunday I made a mistake on the time. Last Sunday I was in Portland. This Sunday I made it and had a great time. The steps in this dance are simple, you can learn [...]
This week began my second month of practicing Bikram yoga in Ashland, Oregon. So far I’m pleased with my results. It is obvious to me that I’ve let myself get into the worst physical shape of my life. Some days I believe it is a miracle that I can even walk. [...]
A close friend of mine has final exams in a couple of weeks and she’s really stressing out over the test. The material is very difficult. She’s been diligent about her studies, but is still stressing over the exam. She tells me that the practice tests have answers that pretty [...]
