Yoginis Say the Darnedest Things

Incident One

Some time ago, I was looking out from our yoga room over the entrance to the building (our room in on the second floor and has one wall which is mostly glass).

I noticed that there was a pretty female triathlete who was wearing tight spandex; she was bending over her gym bag. A guy walked out and his head swiveled to look at her; another guy walked out, same thing.

I start laughing.

The yogini asks me what is funny and I tell her.

She asks "what was she wearing" and I said "spandex shorts". She smiles, winks and says "I had better get some of those".

Incident Two

Today my yoga teacher (female) asked me if I had gotten an e-mail reply that she had sent me; I had sent her a photo of Fred Thompson's wife:

She sent me a one line reply: "That's disgusting".

I said that perhaps she (my teacher) should teach yoga while wearing something low cut and wondered how that would look when she lead us into the "flat back" bend position.

She laughed and said "well, maybe that would get my students, at least the guys, to keep their heads in line with their spines!"


Note: while looking up photos for this post, I stumbled across the following page:

It has many photos such as this one:



Go there; the photo spread is outstanding.

The Holidays

I am on an academic schedule. Therefore, I had the Thanksgiving holiday off.

To be honest, there are times when I'd rather that I didn't have this holiday off. Why?

Well, "quick" holidays seem to go like this:

• leave work
• pack
• travel though bad weather, either flying on a packed airplane or driving on crowded roads
• spend time with people that, to be honest, I probably wouldn't socialize with if I weren't related to them (blood or by marriage)
• travel home, again either fighting bad traffic in bad weather, or putting up with crowded airports
• arrive back home more exhausted than when I left
• then, while in a sleep deprived state, attempt to catch up on missed work.
• Spend about another week unpacking

But, if I don't leave home for the above routine, my ever loving wife says "ok, we can have MY relatives over since you are here!"

A dream come true for me is to actually HAVE days off during the holidays, with no relatives, noise, etc.

Wife with a sense of humor

One thing that I love about my wife is that she has a sense of humor.

Some time ago, she asked me the dreaded "do these pants make my butt look big" type of question: "honey, are these pants too tight?" Fortunately, I have a digital camera and was able to take a quick photo and let her judge for herself:

(no, she wouldn't have wanted me to post the photo)

Anyhow, as she left for work, I playfully caressed her butt and kissed one of her gluteal cheeks. She took it in stride and said: "if any other guys do this to me while I am at work, I'll know that my pants really were too tight!"

I had to laugh!

First Post

Hi. Welcome to Rock in the Shoe. This is an anonymous blog where I'll discuss life in general.

No, that isn't my photo; I really like it though.

Me: married, darned close to 50 years old, with modest accomplishments and a desire to get stuff off of my chest in a manner that won't hurt the feelings of those that I love.
