Cruising at about 35,000 miles/hour it's the ONLY man made object to enter these realms...All this with technology that's 45 years old! Podcast:… Continue Reading

Torn between the Baldface trail and the Ferry crossing beach State Park, we decided to head to the latter. Proximity to water made it an easy decision. A short 2 hour drive from home and we reached the state park around 09:00am. The trails turned out to be much shorter than anticipated. Covered the whole… Continue Reading

Though I still haven't got Uttitha Hastha Padangusthasana (the only part in the standing sequence that I dread every single time I do it!) quite right, I'm happy to move… Continue Reading
