Exercise

After being sick for close to two weeks and not exercising at all, it actually feels good to get back into my daily "wii" routine of jogging, skateboarding, island bicycling, and hula-hooping. It was nice to take a lil' break, but now it's time to get back to strength training and reach my potential.

Another Hero is Gone

Forever the last to know anything, I just found out that Palden Gyatso passed away November 30th of last year. Now is the perfect time to dust off his autobiography which I bought ten years ago.

(I love the serenity that washes over me when I look at Palden's beautiful face. So sad that this extraordinary being is no longer of this Earth.)

Let The New Colossus Speak

(A couple years back I posted this, but with the current political climate and the shameful mess this country is becoming, it bears repeating.)

Krispy Kreme Gets Patriotic!

Rear Window at The Ambler Theatre

I left work a little early today, picked up Zach and headed over to Ambler, PA to show him Rear Window on the big screen. I think I built it up a bit too much for him, but still, Zach said he liked it. We loved discovering a new movie theatre and The Ambler is gorgeous - outside and in. Oh, and the price for Zach's "Youth" admission had us completely gobsmacked. That and that I bought two sodas (Boylan's Orange for Zach and Root Beer for me) cost only five dollars total. We were impressed.

Arriving 45 minutes early, since there was very little traffic, we settled in and began to notice that, holy cow, there's a lot of people here to see an old movie on a weeknight... By the time the open credits appeared onscreen, it was at least 95% at room capacity. And everyone applauded at the end. Oh, I do so love that!

(dig that gorgeous dame that snuck in our photo! we don't know her but WOW.)

(Zach is wearing his one and only expression for photos (I think bc of his braces) and same with me bc I am hiding some zits and a quadruple chin behind that hand! But damn it, we are still totes adorbs.)

The Man. The Music. The Show.

Last night Mama Rosie, Zach, and I all hoofed it across the bridge to Philly to see Hugh Jackman. We were waaaaay up in the rafters (which was fine by me) but thanks to the gi-wombous screens, we could see everything. Mr. Jackman did not disappoint and it was well worth all the stress ahead of time. (Will the printed out tickets be valid at the venue? Will we find parking that isn't miles away so we don't have to walk in the sweltering heat? What about traffic? What if we are late and they won't let us in until after several songs have been missed?) To think we've been waiting since back in December when Zach and Rose signed up for seeing Hugh with me! This man is beyond gifted and pulled out all the stops for a truly magnificent show.
