This fish has made her home in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); and Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Mahalo Moments: Fog & Steam

During my run yesterday morning, I glimpsed a low curtain of white fog hanging over a large grassy field in Land Park. And today provided the first instance this fall of steam rising from the pool during my morning swim. I love seeing these signs of the seasonal change, as the temperatures fall, the leaves turn, and the ceiling fans can finally get a break for several months as we transition from summer to autumn.

Mahalo Moment: Yoga Cats

Both Caly and Jack often join me for my daily yoga practice. I think they like having me on the floor, at their level. A couple of days ago, Captain Jack interpreted some of my movements as prey for him to chase as he kept jumping over me as I lay on my back and tried to catch my hands as I moved my arms. Caly often provides a nice head pillow when she curls up at one end of the mat. And she doesn't move easily! Such fun to have yoga cats accompany my practice!
