Tennis!

Why is it that every 15 minute task on the computer turns into a 3 hour one???? All I wanted to do was to add some music to my blog, using a standard library, which installed, and lo and behold… 8 hours later… it finally works! I mean honestly, between hour 3 and hour 8, all I did was go out to... Read more →
Road to the US Open 2012, Tournament 1
I figured that I would chronicle my journey to the US Open (tennis) both because if I make it, this would be a good place to start recording, and if I either don’t or forget about it, it’ll be another “one of those humorous things that Beracah entertained but never followed through on”. As in “Remember that year that you thought you... Read more →
Why are Macs so expensive???
So I’m out to configure a new computer, partly one for me, partly one for my brother, and I find myself on the MacBook Pro page configuring a machine there .

Overcoming Knee Injuries (Attempting to…)
So for those in the know, many years ago I “suffered” (and I say suffered to make it seem like i was the victim of, rather than the truth, which is that i inane-d myself into) a full ACL tear, along with meniscus tears in my left knee. The 6-year old that caused this (or was it ego…) has since grown up... Read more →
Just Breathe
When I’m in yoga, I get to hear all sorts of inanity about the 3rd-eye, inverting the nervous system, crap like you wouldn’t believe. But one thing that they constantly harp on, and perhaps for good reason, is the power of the breath. But simple requests like that, to breath in, out, smoothly during the execution of each move: down dog, tree,... Read more →
