"Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues." - Standard & Poor

You were a friend to me when few were. Thank you. It's something I will never forget. Until the next time. All my love to your family.

Last night's sunset run and twilight salutations were rad. This shoulder tweak, however, is not.
I have news that will make your day better:

I am the type of man who wakes up before 7 on the weekends. How has this happened?
Thank you, Big A. You've got a Thursday buddy.
Eating in this manner has changed my attitude, my body, and my overall well-being. I started out Paleo, and have allowed Dairy back in (moderatly), and now am mostly "primal".

I secretly hope it rains a bit, so I can see all the Drag Queens' make up running down and swirling into the gutter. Soppy wigs, slippery heels, and sad clowns might just make me die of laughter.
Lovin' your pic!
Monsoon & Sons was spectac! Love you Lauren Waggner, Jay Wilson, Jonna Ashley, and of course Miss Emily Monahan. Sad I missed Peg Mulqueen, Augusta Zoe Hemann, and @Jen!
Monsoon? Our friendship can weather any storm.
has so much for which to be grateful.

I met a role model today.
The Scissor Sisters are my all tine favorite band-- and hearing their encore gave me goosebumps. Golly.
Weather Report: 99°F, Feels Like: 106°. Yoga Report: Looked like Ashtanga, felt like Bikram.
Power Cleans and Deadlifts in the AM so that I can do Primary in the heat of a DC sun. You do not need heaters when it's 97°!
had a pretty amazing day-- An awesome lift this AM, fabulous classes, a coffee date with my dear teacher and friend Kristen Krash, a fantastic conversation with my students about what "yoga" means to them ("awareness of the breath, body and mind. freedom. work."), and a killer CrossFit class. I mean, really. Today rocks. MichaelCycle shipped, too. I know, I can't stand me, either. 🙂
Is ready to take a ride on the ra ra rocket.
All of my meals for the week: made. Ahhhhhhh. What a delightful feeling knowing that I have healthy, delicious fresh meats and veggies waiting for me every day!
I'm starting "Domestic Sundays" this week. Shifting all my weekly shopping/cooking/cleaning from Tuesday mornings to Sunday-whenevers. Love it.
I know that I know how I lucky I am to have parents like Gail & Mike... and yet, I still kinda know I can't even begin to know how great they are. Love!

"Cloudy, with biiiiiig silver linings" was the forecast this morning: <3 practicing in Dupont and making it to the end of primary right as Erica Martinson (a bff) walked up. <3 returning to crossfit. <3 leading a class and being able to thank my "sub" in person
National Running Day? Don't mind if I do!
Fine, blackened studio. I'll do Primary in Dupont Circle.
... Stupid Moon Day.
No one wants a teacher who doesn't practice. Off to Mysore.

Lies no class.

survived the Capitol Skyline Pool. Today is made for... vino.
2 things: 1) "Those are some hot pants, mmhmm," said the homeless-ish gentleman nicely (if twitchingly). 2) The guy on the courtesy call today sounded hot & on my team. Conclusion: I love the compliment and i also wanted to hollar at a telemarketer. Me=crazy
has an uncontrolable crush on Jake Shears. Could Jake, Adam Levine, and I do yoga by a pool? Forever?
does anyone have a BodyBugg or an ExcerSpy I can borrow? I'd like some data.

At 24, I wanted to do the splits (and put my foot on my head). I spent a year. At 25, I wanted a career. I spent a year. At 26, I wanted a body as strong as my mind (it took two-- I needed to get a strong mind, too). At 28, I want to be a householder (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a householders practice, so it seems right).

8 limbs. I live within discipline. I fail often with cleanliness. This morning is not a practice of the third limb of yoga (asana/postures), but the second: observances. Today, my yoga practice is that of cleanliness (saucha). For those that know me: wish me luck.
I continue to enjoy rapturey goodness.

Yoga Teacher Friends: Does anyone know of a studio/teacher in Bali? I have a friend moving there, and she's having trouble finding a teacher outside of super pricey healthclubs. Thoughts?
Can you imagine a no grunting gym? I would have been asked to leave @[100063566111555:2048:Balance Gym] today if we had a "lunk alarm."
