1. Yesterday I went flying. We went to Napa, did a couple of crosswind landings, and came home. The whole airspace and working-the-ATC-system thing challenged me, since it's been years since I've done a Bravo transition. In fact, don't quote me, but it may have been my first one ever as pilot. I sure could use some crosswind landing practice too. Scary.
When we were northbound I heard NorCal mentioning "numerous targets" (meaning "there are other aircraft around, so look sharp and don't hit them") near "the accident site". I didn't know yet what that was. I thought of an aircraft accident. Um, no, it's something else.
2. I have created a wonderful little rule for myself. We have a seemingly-endless supply of these mints in the office. They're nothing more than poisonous little sugar blobs, and I know I shouldn't be mindlessly putting sugar blobs in my mouth, yet they're addictive. My new rule: every one of these "costs" five pushups. Now I can't shovel them in my mouth nearly so quickly! Now there's an upper limit to the number I'm eating in a day! I'm even getting some upper body use, too.
3. The average visitor to Rome walks six miles a day. (I got that from a web site written by a wheelchair user. I don't know where she got it, but from my random international travels to large cities I find it very believable.) Before we leave I am going to try to buy a wheelchair. It will be the a) lightest-weight b) collapsible one I can find that c) allows self-mobility (no transport chairs), d) allows pushing, and e) has big tires (or I'll bend the frame on cobblestone streets). No, we do not have trunk space for a scooter. At one point in the trip we'll have five people in one car. Too bad; a scooter is totally the right answer.

I like that rule a LOT.
I may try to find something that I can work toward with Sun Salutations, hmmm.... one hundred Sun Salutations equals... getting a massage? or getting to go to a yoga class? (I love going to class, but it is a cost of time and money, so "earning" classes strikes me as something fun.)
If you want more of the ab work and the stuff that can be done seated or lying on the floor, just holler. I'm noticing that I can break a sweat without ever standing up, and I'm also noticing that my abs are becoming... visible, defined, and capable of doing nice things like making my back ache less, which makes my shoulders happier, which makes my neck happier, which makes my jaw happier, and I'd just about do
-anything- to make my jaw less unhappy.
Have fun in Rome!

Any yoga-ish stuff that can be done without feet, Yes Please! Bring it on! Yoga seems like a great form of exercise, and if I can do it by myself I'm all for it. I can stand up, but I can't put pressure on the ball of the foot, so Tree is okay for a limited time but Downward Dog is right out.
