Hammond, Louisiana sits in the middle of South East Louisiana in beautiful farm country. The terrain is not so exquisite as some place I’ve visited before like here or here, or here. The recreation opportunities don’t look like this.
But sometimes the awesomeness of the sky makes up for it. Summer time in [...]
Being healthy is one of the essentials of Happiness. It’s important to always be active, to watch what we eat, to really take care of this temple called our body. Something I’m finding out through my yoga practice is how important it is to take care of our feet.
Our feet are made up [...]
Few things are more satisfying to me than cooking with my friends. I’ll admit that I’m a decent cook. It comes from my Grandmother who was a magnificent cook. Lately I’ve been getting into pastries. My favorite are Rustic Apple Tarts from a recipe in last autumn’s Cook’s Illustrated entertaining issue. [...]

This morning when I arrived at Ashland’s Bikram Studio for my morning practice one of the ladies who comes on a regular basis walked up to my truck.
Her name is Lou. I think that’s how she spells it. She is a very sweet woman who comes in and quietly practices her yoga with [...]
There’s a Bikram yoga studio in Ashland. I was really excited to discover this because it has been just over a year since I’ve been able to practice regularly. Last year I began practicing at Bikram Yoga of Encino and I set myself a goal to do 60 days straight. This is [...]
This morning I’m leaving Los Angeles and moving for a time to Ashland, Oregon. The journey isn’t so long as a thousand miles, but it still begins with a single step. In today’s world, physical distance as an obstacle is obsolete. I can travel from any point in the world to any [...]
This beautiful city is always amazing, always friendly, always welcome. I forget how much I enjoy San Diego until I return. I’ve been staying with my friends Robert and Maria Sheperd in University Town Center. As always there is something exciting going on at their house. This week is the final week before the FIRST San Diego [...]
