Happy Birthday Dad

My father is 82 years old today.  It amazes me to stop and think of all of the things he has seen in his lifetime.  I remember when cable TV first came out and my Dad swore that he would not pay for TV when there is free TV that we all have looked at for the past 50 years.  Well that changed.  He loves his satellite TV now.

Cell phones?  He hated the house phone because it rang all of the time and doesn’t feel any better about cell phones.  “Why is the world would anyone want to walk around with a telephone in their ear” was one of his favorite sayings until Mom got a cell phone.  Yup, there sure have been a lot of changes in his life.

Hot Yoga

Guest post written by my buddy Keith Kramer

Over the past couple of months, I have picked up a new physical activity, hot yoga. I have practiced on and off for about a year, but it’s not until recently that I have consistently gone twice a week. I will admit that sometimes it’s hard to pry myself from in front of my Direct TV and go, but once I’m there, I’m so happy I did. I have tried other kinds of yoga in the past, but the problem is that since I am not naturally flexible, I don’t get as much out of it. With hot yoga, the room is heated between 95 and 100 degrees, which allows my body to bend a little better. I go to two different studios because they both offer $5 classes at various times throughout the day. One studio has more morning classes available and one has more evening and weekend. Conveniently, the studio that is closest to my house has the morning classes. It is way too expensive to actually have a monthly membership, so I’m happy that these classes are an option. I find them much better than any yoga classes that I have taken at my gym.
