Red Line Rapid. Steel toed and plasticized.

Red Line Sunrise

Practical commuter shoes belie the heels in your receptionist's tote. You turn pages of daily devotions. I glimpse your tender scalp through feathered hair and a cloud of perfume.

Roller Skating and Energy Efficiency

Tomorrow the City of Cleveland is hosting a kick-off event to the Year of Energy Efficiency. The Cleveland Conserves Energy Efficiency Fair will be 11am-2pm in Cleveland City Hall Rotunda. The event will feature businesses, nonprofits and City-based departments related to energy efficiency and conservation.

Of course, since I'm involved in the planning we had to make it just a little wacky and fun. The Little Hollywood Dazzlers will also be performing. They are a group of 5-9yr-olds who dance on roller skates. They are led by 71-year-old professional skater Maurice Cooke who is passing on everything he knows to the youth.I am an avid believer that rollerskating brings people together.

Below is a preview of the Little Hollywood Dazzlers. Stop on by the event is free. You can learn about how to give yourself the gift that keeps on giving: energy efficiency.

New Year Intentions

I intend to be more forthright when it matters and less forthright when it doesn’t.

I intend to jump from Adho Mukha Svanasana into Dandasana with grace.

I intend to make a new dance and teach it to some dancers and to organize a performance of the new dance.

I intend to take Ballet class again.

I intend to bicycle throughout winter.

I intend to be a better friend by calling, writing and visiting.

I intend to dress a little snazzier.

I intend to talk less about my cats, but to love them more.

I intend to knit my sister a hat.

Ok, that’s it for now.
