Puppies, holiday practice, sage

Aren’t they hilarious? I am amazed at how excited I am about the new puppy.

Led class with VBG this morning. Small group; nice and warm (102). My hip flexors shockingly ache-full in urdhva dhanurasana. Like angry steel cables. I persevered.
Afterwards, chanting. Sanskrit Scholar led. I always feel bad, subjecting her to my tone-deafness, but she is gracious. It was challenging; I hate being the center of attention, so the getting called upon to chant solo was pretty scary. Again, persevered.
In the end, though, it was worth it: went out for a nice lunch with Sanskrit Scholar. Time to catch up after all her travels. She is a dear soul, and I’m grateful for her friendship. Stand out in the parking lot, after lunch, sun so hot you can smell the sage bushes surrounding the parking lot. Summer in the desert. Nice.
