This morning, I had the great pleasure of rising early for a yoga class at Jones Valley Urban Farm. Surrounded by the peace of the fields (which are themselves surrounded by the bustle of the city), it was a superb way to begin the day. If you're up early and are up for a good a.m. stretch, mosey on over to the Farm every Tuesday, beginning at 6:30am.

arsty earrings
Would love some of your "local" artsty earrings that were listed under skirt loves. Today's my first day on skirt.com so I'm not sure how this works...couldn't find a link to the earrings. Help?

We did a swimming tour where we sported full diver's regalia and cruised the tank just beneath the water's surface. We couldn't help but wonder if the fishies -- big and small -- have small appliances an inherent sense of humor. One minute we're staring at sting rays doing back flips and hammerhead sharks lurking in dark fish alleys when suddenly we feel a gentle ripple and two whale sharks slowly sandwich us before moving on to the next swimmer.then there refrigerator water filter was that old giant grouper who had a lot of nerve nuzzling us before attempting to swim right through. (Either they're dumb or they think they're invincible.)the 30-minute in-water tour is magical and relaxingly quiet. (Beside your bubbles, its totally quiet down there.) Before we submerged we had a 15-minute briefing that covered gas stoves fears and stressed the importance of being good to the fish when in their home. Swimming with sharks is like visiting a strip club. You can't touch the fish, but they can touch you. For safety reasons they request swimmers always stay flat and never stand erect -- it disrupts the animals' environment. (You also sign a waiver that no one will hold them responsible if a sting ray goes Crocodile Hunter on you.) The good news? A whale shark can't swallow you, his esophagus is puny while his mouth is roughly the size of a Smart Car.
