Happy Birthday, Lyka!!

Finally, you are 26. I was wondering if you were going to make it!

Hope you have a great day, Malyka!

Happy EASTER!!

 Happy Easter and a Blessed Passover. This is actually the first Easter I can remember NOT attending church. Spiritually it has been different (and difficult at times) this year. Today though, was a GREAT day.

Blue Devils climb that Mountain(eer)

Final Score: Duke 78, WVU 57. The Duke Blue Devils beat the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Semifinal game of the NCAA National Tournament tonight. While you might think I would want the Mountaineers to win, because I grew up in W. Va. my mother went to grad school at Duke. Also my father and brother both went to Va. Tech. So we aren't huge fans of the 'Eers. While I like to see WVU do well, I am glad the Blue Devils pulled out the win. It was a great game by Duke--just too much for WVU.

The next game is the FINALS verse Butler. The Bulldogs knocked off the Spartans of Michigan St earlier in the night. Butler has won 25 straight games. Should be a good match up.

Sun Salutaion - Surya Namaskar

What a great way to start your morning. This simple yoga sequence is a easy and bright way to greet the sun each morning. Feel free to run through it more than once, and slower than the person in the video is going. Remember your breath, and focus on the greeting the sun.

If you like, try this mantra:

The eternal, earth, air, heaven

That glory, that resplendence of the sun

May we contemplate the brilliance of that light

May the sun inspire our minds.

Namaste-

Pap's Back

No the Red Sox closer is not getting off-season surgery on his back. He's back on the team, because he signed a one-year deal with the Sox for 2010. Signing right before salary arbitration. He will earn $9.35 million, but could earn $9.5 million--that's $3 million more than last year's pay.

Manny Delcarmen signed for just under one million ($905k). And Ramon Ramirez for just over one million ($1.155). They also have Daniel Bard, the closer in waiting. We'll see..I like it, but Pap did not have his best year last year. He is strong, and I assume he will bounce back.

Go SOX!
