Despite not having been impressed with the class I took last month in P'town, I decided to give stand up paddle boarding yoga a second try recently.

I had made two attempts to find a companion for the day, but didn't find a taker. No worries whatsoever. I'd been … Continue reading (Sometimes) I want to be alone

His regular servers were moving on to other opportunities and he just needed some help for … Continue reading Answering the call of cheese
