3:40pm: OK, so it’s official: I’m not into Winter! It’s
cute for awhile. The “holidays”; Chestnuts roasting on an open
fire; getting all bundled up and taking long walks; The beauty of a
fresh New England snow fall. It’s cute until mid January and then
you realize you’ve got three more months of Winter. Not to
mention, the "holidays" are something that most Jews just "watch in
amazement"! I've always loved spending time with my non Jewish
girlfriends and their families, but at some point their families would
implode under the weight of Christmas expectations unfulfilled...
and then the real fun begins!! Yes at mid January, we're
still looking at February. March sounds a lot like Spring but
it’s never anything like Spring, and it snows every April! Bottom
line: November to April is a six month freak show called Winter!
Last year I headed down to Florida on January 15th and it worked
beautifully. This year because of business reasons and the fact
that I enjoy the students I teach and enjoy the studio owners I work
for, I decided to stay up here and suck it up. Can’t imagine I’ll
stay here next Winter. Not with all the wonderful, warm places in
the world to teach yoga. I’ve almost made it. One more trip
down to Florida and if I make it a long working vacation, I can make it
to Spring.
Baseball season is upon us and that’s a sure sign of Spring. I’m
still in shock (and awe!) over the Red Sox Nation’s successful bid for
a World Championship last year; just AWESOME! Especially at the
expense of the Yankees. My Mets are promising great things
(nothing new!), and for the first time in years it seems that the
promise of potential might actually come to fruition. What does
that mean to me? A .500 winning percentage might be a nice place
to start! Ahh! Just to be competitive again! My boy Mike
Piazza’s final year of his contract. I want him to go out with
good memories.
I’m teaching a ridiculous amount and waiting for word from from the
Bikram Yoga International HQ, pertaining to a very exciting project I’m
working on. Just need the Boss’ OK, and I’m off and running.
Musically, I’m working on a bit of a new concept for the band as far as
our performance presentation is concerned. I’ve always been a big
technology kinda’ guy. The trick has always been to mix
performance and technology in a way that’s seamless and
unobtrusive. It takes time and patience. For the first time
in years, I seem to have both.
