I tell people I’m a food purist. And I say I’m gastronomically conservative. Sometimes these terms are misunderstood. These terms that, as far as I know, I’ve made up; I don’t see them commonly used this way, but I could easily have picked them up subconsciously and adopted them. When something is so universally true, as I think food purism is, you often see the same or similar permutations of the concept showing up in different places. Anyway, being a food purist doesn’t mean that I only eat the foods that offer the best nutrition per calorie, or the foods with the highest antioxidant levels or the most enzymes or the least fat or the lowest glycemic index, etc. etc. That’s all popular science and I don’t get bogged down in it. All of that is changing constantly, anyway: One day eggs are good for you, the next day, you can only have whites, then they’re good for you again, then you find out they’re bad for you. Not that I’m saying anything about eggs right now, but this is
I’ve been teaching Nia for 16 years now. And most of those years, I’ve gotten four new routines from Nia. That comes out to over 60 routines over the years. I’ve also created quite a few of my own routines. And along the way, certain routines have fallen out of favor for one reason or another. For example, a great routine called Commitments, which uses the music from the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, is one of my first ones. I learned that routine so long ago that I have the music on cassette tape and I watched the routine on VHS. It has been retired “To the Vault” for many years. Ditto for routines called Genesis, Roots and Adagio. Some routines have been taken apart and used to build other routines. For example I took all of the Angelique Kidjo songs from the classic, Agolo, and put together a routine using only songs from her album, Aye (which means "LIFE" and is the name of the routine as well.) I split up the songs from the repetitive routine Fi
Back in November, when I first started taking Lamisil, I had a bit of an issue with waking up in the middle of the night in a soaking wet bed, covered in sweat. It was gross. I wasn’t sure what caused the sweats, but since they only happened those first two nights, I figured it was either one of two things: ONE: A reaction to the Lamisil which I eventually became accustomed to and stopped sweating. TWO: A reaction to a tetanus shot I got at the same time I got my Lamisil Rx. But now, nearly three months later, I only have a few pills left. (I’d say I have about a week and a half left of my three-month dose.) And it happened again. Three nights ago, about 4am, I was awaken by the feeling that the bed was ice cold. It was soaking wet and so was I. I had to go get a towel to lay back down on the bed and sleep through the night. This isn't my bed, but this is exactly what it was like Two nights ago it didn’t happen, but then again last night, or rather this morning, ag
