Yay!

I just taught class at LL and it went really well. AT came, which is always nice, and a woman from another studio came to watch. One woman came up to me before class and said, with some barely discernible accent (maybe Australian?), "I am not very flexible, so sometimes I need to be adjusted." Then every time I adjusted her, she grinned and said, "Thanks." After class, she said, "Your voice is so relaxing! It made me feel like, I can do this." I thought that was a really nice thing to say.

Afterward AT asked if I wanted to get some tea, and several people standing around the studio recommended City Bakery, but we both found it too bleak and sterile, and went to Cupcake Cafe instead. The cafe was connected to a children's bookstore, and little kids were digging into cupcakes all around us. I had a yogurt (which had high fructose corn syrup, alas) and some fantastic ginger root tea. AT had a maple walnut cupcake, and we talked about our lives and watched a woman pipe icing onto a small, round cake. The intensity of her concentration made me think it was meditative.

On that note, you may want to check out the Vegan Lunch Box. Each lunchbox is a work of art. She has even inspired me to be a part-time vegan (I can't give up yogurt, but I can cut back on cheese.)
