This Old Dog Learning Some not so New Tricks

 I survived my first Yoga class! My wife and I signed up for an 8 week 90 min beginners class and this first morning after, I feel better than I thought I would. The instructor had us reaching, breathing and stretching, using muscles that I thought might scream at me today but all in all it was great and I'm looking forward to the next 7 weeks.  FYI www.yogaonthehillkittery.com
So why do I share this life tidbit on this blog?  Well whenever my professional life slows down a tad its interesting that I get to remind myself how life isnt about running the fastest "Rat Race", rather it should be about expanding and experiencing new things, places and ideas.  No big revelation just a gentle reminder to myself to appreciate what I've been given, enjoy it and to share it freely!
Also I would be remiss if I didnt thank my wife for leading me towards this class thus allowing me to experience this lesson. I'm a lucky man!
So I guess it goes under the old adage "to stop and smell the roses".
Heres to this Old Dog re-learning to at least slow down and inhale...and hoping that we all take the time to do so!
There ya go buddy!

Really Fun Show this Fri 27th for Portland Players

I always love doing my comedy shows but some nights I just can't wait to get to the gig and this will be one of those nights.  A benefit show for The Portland Players
starring Showtime's "Maine's Funniest Mom" Karen Morgan and myself [plus my alter ego C.L. Thomas performing, not just his "How to be a Better Tourist" show but also some winter thoughts from this "winter that weren't!"]
All for a good cause...A great venue for a great crowd that I hope includes you!
