Found great link to an article in Men’s Health on Art Devany’s blog about jungle-like workouts. The name is called “movnat”…it’s the father of parkour I’d say.

I used to know all the muscle names. I used to know all about the endocrine system and all that. I used this to choose how to move and how to eat. I don’t really know if all that knowledge was really necessary. What I’ve come to is pretty simple.

Walk everyday.
Sprint occasionally.
Play games.
Lift heavy things occasionally.
Eat vegetables, meat, nuts, fruits and seeds.

Seems pretty simple. We are made to walk and run and play. We are made to eat what I wrote above. We are made this way…I could have just looked at that. I felt like I needed to know the latest information and get the blessings of gurus. I felt like it needed to be proved. It’s so simple. I think from now on, I’ll try the simple things first.

I used to be afraid of rain sticks.
Just bumping them seemed to cause a storm.
Now the creeks are dry and I heard
it said no more sierra snow by
end of century.
Who really knows about that?
I always figured I would move north
as the north would become more and more
like the south over time.
I like this time now though, even with
the drought of water and money.
The basics are more of concern than luxuries.
Even so, what we consider basics are luxury to many.
But now, more rain would be good.
A nice cold rain for a long time.
We’ve been turning our rain sticks
and hoping for more rain.

I talked with my mother two days ago. Her CT scan shows no evidence of cancer. She is done with this session of chemo. She is in remission.

Beautiful morning in San Francisco right now. Sky is pink to purple to dark blue. It’s still quiet even though it’s almost seven. Tuesday seems to be quieter than other days of the week. I expect it’s probably second only to Sunday.

Early morning and late evening are my favorite times of the day. It’s the quiet time in the city. Although, you have to wait until 3am sometimes for the quiet on the weekend. Still, San Francisco has its quiet moments. I recommend those times for anyone interested.
