September 11, 2011 : Little Orphan Andy

Little Orphan Andy

We named this little guy Little Oprhan Andy, after the ginger moppet of old, and after a week of feeding him, finally transported the little guy to the Washington Human Society to find a better home than the streets of Brookland.

September 9, 2011 : Bloomingdale Yoga

Yoga District: Bloomingdale

How to use yoga to quit smoking: take classes with lots of different teachers. 

I was lucky in that I've found a large group of great teachers at Quiet Mind and Yoga District, and I take many of the same teachers classes regularly, as they each offer different things.  

Friday nights, my partner and I often take Michelle Mae's flow class at the Bloomingdale Yoga District, and then get beer and dinner nearby after. It's a really great date.

September 1, 2011 : Yoga to Quit Smoking

Quiet Mind Yoga

How to use yoga to quit smoking: go to yoga all of the time.  

I used to spend ten minutes every one to three hours smoking a cigarette.  Now I spend an hour and a half, every one to three days on the yoga mat in a class. 

Thursdays I make it a point of always going to Quiet Mind to see Yael Flusberg, poet, Reiki master and yoga teacher extrodinaire, she leads each class as if it is a poem or a prayer. 

September 1, 2011 : Public Art in Mid-City

All Beef, No Vote

A lot of the public / street art in D.C. focuses on the city's disenfranchisement, that is our lack of a voting representative in the Congress of the United States.
