The yard!\u00a0 The yard!\u00a0 If Tattoo had been here this winter, he’d have gotten pretty excited about this dreary muddy mess now more visible than not.\u00a0 The mountain of snow over which I could not see as I degaraged my Celica has melted to foothill levels, allowing me sights not seen for two + months.\u00a0 Yippee.<\/p>\n
Business meeting this morning and we acknowledged both the new tax burden and our wisdom in saving adequately to deal with it.\u00a0 This transition year into the retired life has had surprises, mostly pleasant ones, but this one caught us up short, at least at first.\u00a0 We have enough money to pay the taxes and still go on with our cruise.\u00a0 I’m glad because I’ve already got that Panama hat picked out.<\/p>\n
I’ve entered a new phase of physical activity, one with not only aerobic and resistance work, but also with body movement exercise like the Tai Chi and the Body Flow class at the Y.\u00a0 It feels different, maybe better.\u00a0 The better aspect comes with the more body friendly Tai Chi, yoga and pilates.\u00a0 Aerobic and resistance are necessary to retain muscle mass and heart\/circulatory system health, but the others work the body in a way designed to calm, loosen, stretch.\u00a0 The Tai Chi, too, has a strong element, as does yoga, of the Eastern mystical.\u00a0 Yoga as taught here has lost much of that, but the Tai Chi world remains rooted in the ancient Taoist traditions of China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
