It's a whole new look today.
I look professional now. There is even a new commenting option. I think it may be improved for those of you who like to ramble on a little bit (Ka).

So, this past weekend we went to Breitenbush Hot Springs (breitenbush). It is very Oregon. We spent one night there in a little cabin. The deal is that the place is kind of a get back to mother earth spa. They hold workshops and classes on Love, Sex, Spirituality etc... Alright let me cut to the chase they have like 10 natural hot springs on site and your are allowed to go in naked, this is the option that 90% of the people choose. So I wasn't sure what my choice was going to be then I just decided to go for it. It was fine. The real problem I had wasn't whether I felt comfortable with my own nudity but was that I wanted to relax and sitting in a small hot tub with 6 other people was not my idea of total relaxation. I want to be alone. What I realized is that I need physical space to truly ground myself. That is just how I am. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy myself. I did, we all did. There was plenty of nice trails to walk. Some small meditation sanctuaries. Also, there was a mothers day weekend retreat going on and there were kids everywhere so Daisy had a blast. The food is provided as part of your stay and it is all vegetarian and all organic and was very delicious. The big problem I have with the vegetarian diet is the gas. After two days of eating this stuff I was a methane balloon ready to burst.

The kid is up.

The blog gets dressed-up, and Tony C takes it all off. And in the name of spiritual enlightenment, no less. Love it. If nothing else, consider it prep work for the big nude family portrait.

Did you know that I grew up next door to this guy? What are the chances? Two poets next door like that. Something was in the water on Browndale Ave.

I feel like "The kid is up" has become Tony C's signature catch-phrase -- his way of signing-off every day. Like "And that's the way it was..." I like that. We can start selling "The kid is up" bumperstickers and cup koozies.
