Downward dog

While I have never attended a class, I have always been a fan of yoga pants (on certain people - not myself). Anyway, I wandered into my first yoga class yesterday morning. We were a few minutes late, thankfully she took the spot at the front of the class and I found a spot on the periphery. I had some trouble hearing the instructor, so I stole glances at my neighbors to figure out what to do. There was the downward dog, sleeping baby and many others. Actually, I do a few of the poses/moves/whatever a few times a week as they are part of a regiment for keeping the pelvis aligned. The yoga hour passed quickly, it was not as demanding as expected - or have been told. I am not even sure it was beneficial, so many rave about it. Maybe I need to tackle a more advanced class? Maybe I need to continue before passing judgement (that'd be a first)? Continuing the exercise theme, the pull-up bar is mounted - wow, I am worse than expected. I did a few reps, five each time, but - just like I thought - my upper body is way behind the lower. Anyway, all this crossfit nonsense these days - I should start a class in my garage with the jump rope, the hanging rope, pull up bar, mat for pushups and all that jazz along with boxes for jumping up and down.

My dad is going to die very soon

I walked into his apartment and sat beside his bed as he lay asleep. His wife gave a nudge and his bleary eyes opened halfway. A half smile...
