(I don’t think)

Yesterday, I stopped by the grocery store. On impulse I bought a large bag of cherries. A huge bag.

When I got home I started eating them. I ate more than half, it was $13 worth of cherries.

I didn’t stop because I wanted to, I stopped because I thought I should.

Can someone overdose on cherries?.

I think not, because if they coulda, I woulda!

Have a great weekend!

Theres an interstellar “comet” from outside our solar system passing through right now. It would be cool if humans could divert an existing spacecraft and swing on by.

Read the article HERE.

This reminds me of a book I read “Rendezvous with Rama“.not too long ago.

I hope we hear more about this in the news.

Have a great day !

Below is the letter (email) I received last evening, along with my 200 hour yoga teacher certificate!

Hi Mark,

Thank you for sending in your assignments and congratulations on passing your final exam! You did a great job. Here is feedback for you on the scripts you sent in:

Intro/Themes

Good job on opening up your classes. You sound confident and grab the students’ attention.
Your classes reflect your themes well.

Warm Up/Surya Namaskar
Good job utilizing the Warm Up. The poses you used feel pertinent in prepping the body for bigger poses and actions.

Body/Sequencing
You have a good idea of stringing poses together and understand how to sequence a balanced class.

The use of transitions makes your classes flow seamlessly.

Cueing
You do a nice job providing instructions so that students know how to get into and out of poses safely.

Cool Down/Savasana/Closing
Great job closing your class strong! Offer a few minutes of your time to connect with students for feedback and questions.

Overall great job on your assignments, can you please confirm the full spelling of your legal name to go on your certificate?

Its Official! I’m a yoga teacher! Not bad for a decrepid 65-year-old

have a great day!

The paragraph below is from the Grok AI app, but I already knew, as did most Redskins fans, that the American Indians did not find the Washington Redskins logo offensive.

The Washington Redskins logo, used from 1972 to 2020, was designed by Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a Blackfeet tribal leader and former president of the National Congress of American Indians. The logo was a composite image of Native American photographs, primarily inspired by Blackfeet Chief Two Guns White Calf.

That’s why the picture above is so funny. Quite hilarious because it’s so true. People saying in effect “Here, let me do what’s good for you even though you don’t want it, I don’t know what I’m talking about, and it makes no difference, just seems like a cute idea. If you weren’t offended, you should have been, but I fixed it for you anyway. I created the problem where there was no problem, I gave it to you, even though you had no problem, and I fixed it for you even though there was no problem in the first place.”

#HTTR!

Have a great Tuesday!

This morning I was awakened at 3:00 a.m. precisely buy a lightning and thunderstorm to the east. It continued until dawn passing over the house and ending up over the gorizon in the West.

I’m very tired this morning.

Have a great week!

The brighter one is Venus, the other is Jupiter. I can see them getting closer and closer together everyday.

I’m glad it’s Friday, it’s been a rough week..

1,450 days on duolingo today.

have a great weekend!

I went to the ophthalmologist yesterday. I had a very good report, I had a better than last time field test too, which can’t really improve.. It just means I paid better attention to the blinking lights.

I feel like I can barely tell the difference in long range vision with my glasses on or with my glasses off, but the doctor demonstrated the vast improvement with my glasses on using the charts. I also feel like I can barely read any books and can only read the Kindle Scribe with the font jacked way up. He had me demonstrate reading his little card for his reading test that I can read small print just fine.

What then, seems to be the problem? Dim light? I know that sunlight is the best for everything.

Anyway, I’m glad my eyes are not getting worse,

How do you like my cool shades in the picture above? Steampunk!!

Today makes 1200 days in a row of OM meditation. It is as essential as brushing my teeth. Also essential is my morning exercise/yoga practice. If you don’t do it I recommend you try it for 30 days in a row. You’ll be hooked!

Have a great day

The other day, I got up and didn’t feel like doing my morning routine. I said to myself I’ll just do a few “sun salutations and see what happens” I ended up having one of my best workouts, and was very glad that I didn’t skip it.

I learned that an exercise routine has to be like brushing my teeth, I have to do it everyday whether I feel like it or not. Somehow, it seems better when I do it when I think I did’nt want to do it.

Happy Wednesday!

I took this picture this morning, I think it’s Venus if you look towards the top center. I can already tell the sun is coming up later.

Things are good, remove the front yard Sunday and the backyard yesterday afternoon. I got a lot of yard work to do…

Have a good day!

I finished the course this weekend. Turned in my final paper. Now it takes 14 days to review everything and verify if I completed everything satisfactorily and passed.

I started April 2nd, my goal was to finish by July 11th, but I didn’t make it. April 2nd to August 2nd still has a good ring to it though..

I wonder if I’ll ever see the above image with a website generated 100%? It still says 98%..

Hsppy Monday and have a great day!
