Lance Armstrong: Yoga man

It's true. Lance Armstrong says here he's now practicing yoga.
Hard-core cyclists (or runners or walkers, tennis players, etc.) might scoff. "Yoga?"
You don't have to trust me on this when I say it's a workout and a half.

Meanwhile, ride on, Lance.

John Mackey: The bread and butter of Whole Foods

A great read from the recent New Yorker magazine.
John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods, is a complex fellow. Eccentric; prone to shooting from the hip; thru-hiker of the Appalachian Trail; a Vegan who believes it'd be career suicide if he quit selling meat; a capitalist with a hippie bent; outspoken about outrageous compensation of most U.S. execs.
One of the most interesting factoids: A Whole Foods will come to your town/neighborhood is based on the number of college graduates within a 16-minute drive.
(More eccentricity: Not 15 or 20.)
Enjoy.

MSNBC has this story about the urgency of the situation in Haiti.
And here's how to donate to the American Red Cross.

Most things I read say that monetary donations are most needed now, as travel to the devastated country has been delayed or hampered.

The earthquake in Haiti

Hi, friends.
The usual trivial matters here seem, well, trivial compared to what happened in Haiti.

Prayers for the people of Haiti.

The thighs have it

Check this out, especially you peeps who have the same problem I do: big thighs/hips/butt.
Turns out, it's best not to carry your access "baggage" around your middle.
Don't know about you but my favorite exercise is cycling. That tends to build the area I have issues with; never one for jogging, which makes people leaner in the hips/thighs/butt.
But if you have this (advantageous) pear shape, what do you do to tone?

This is a shocker

This is a shock.
You know, people will wring their hands about role models and how McGuire failed little kids, blah blah blah, but MLB won't take a hit until the ticket stands take a hit.
