Week 21 - Pilates

My daughter and I have been taking a few Pilates sessions at the Village with Linda. We haven't done the move pictured here yet! Maybe next week. The workout feels really great and stretches out my back. Wish I had one of the reformers at home.

Week 20 - David Sedaris and House of Tricks

I went to see author David Sedaris who read from his very funny books and diary. He was quite entertaining. Another first was going to House of Tricks in Tempe before the show with my friends, Chris, Stephanie and Dana. It was a beautiful evening and we sat outside on the patio. I had the salmon and it was delicious. I would highly recommend House of Tricks! And I would also recommend reading any of David Sedaris's books - but be forewarned, he is very liberal and tells it like he sees it.

Week 19 - Sway Dance

My friend Nancy and I went to Sway dance company (owned by my friend Maggie Kline and her daughter Marissa). We took Marissa's Boogie Mix class. What fun - and a great workout too. I love to dance, it is so much fun it doesn't seem like your exercising. Although I bet we burned tons of calories. Visit Sway at http://www.swayaz.com/ for a listing of classes. They have Zumba classes there too.

Week 18 - Kinesis Wall

I took at intro class at the Village (my gym) on the Kinesis wall. It is a wall with pulleys and you do a workout in about 20 minutes that targets most of your body. It was different and will be a good way to add some variety to my workouts. I really felt it in my back. Next on the list is trying Pilates...

Week 17 - One more Mac Class

Week 17 - One more hour of Mac training and we were able to edit a video of a seminar at work. Now we need to post to our Web site for an RSS feed so we can make a podcast for our members. One step at a time....

Week 16

This week I went to a class at the Apple store and learned about iMovie with my friend and coworker Traci. Only she will get the reference to the Grouper picture - a similar guy was featured in our movie we created at the store. While I do not own a Mac, I will be able to use iMovie to create things on our Mac at work, so I am looking forward to that!

Week Fifteen - Eddie's House

I went to Eddie's House (Chef Eddie Matney's new restaurant) in Scottsdale this weekend. The food was great. I had the Sea Bass - it was wonderful! Here is the link for their Web site: http://www.azeats.com/eddieshouse/thanks.html We saw basketball star Grant Hill eating there with his family.
