my new job and this blog

Okay - so I haven't posted - since I started my new job (That's me on the right in Silcon Valley) - I am not sure why - but I think its b/c my life is just not that exciting and I think there is not much to say -

that said I think I am going to just start posting either stories from my current life - or things from past lives - I want to try to start scanning photos from when I lived in other places and sort of use this as an online diary to start writing down some funny things -

anyway - I recently went on a 3 week west coast tour for work/fun/work. I went to google in Silcon valley where I found they used the word "Interesting" to describe things that are truly interesting, but really to be nice about a wacky idea - I have now found I use that word all the time - so be forewarned ;-)

from there I went on a yoga retreat in sleepy little surfing town about 3/4 down the Mexican Coast - called Troncones Beach - http://www.presentmomentretreat.com/ It was absolutely perfect - I took off my shoes when I got there and was barefoot the entire time - I would get up run barefoot on the beach (Until I stress fractured my foot from that - who knew) then did 2 hours of yoga and then ate a good breakfast and read the rest of the day. It was awesome

I did end up falling 5 feet backwards - I was sitting in a chair and the fellow above started to walk behind me and realized that he was stepping on air, he grabbed the back of my chair and then I went flying backwards....for once in my life this:

1. wasn't my fault

2. people said I fell gracefully - below is how far I fell -

3. notice bruise on left shin

From Mexico - I went out to Seattle for a conference for a week and hooked up with some old friends - one who I just met in Mexico - Elizabeth (the person playing the drums w/ me)- she took me out for a great dinner and yoga class, some friend from A2 who moved to seattle recently - JC and Thealla - and my friend from Alaska - Heather, came down for the weekend - (photo below) - it was all in all a great trip!
