Wednesday Morning

Well, let's see... It's a somewhat busy week getting ready to head out to Mexico on Friday. I am pretty excited about the upcoming retreat. 7 days in Mexico with the group and 2 days afterwards with me and Kelly to keep surfing. I am really looking forward to it. I have never been to the Baja and I am ready for some mild, nice weather. There is some rumor of snow here in Austin. (gasp!)

I am finishing up cooking my lunch- vegetable curry over basmati rice- and then I will do a little work before getting into my practice and heading back to Castle Hill for the evening class. So between now and then I need to clean my house, do some laundry, pack, answer a bunch of email and generally put things in order to leave town again for 10 days. Nothing too major so long as I keep moving.

That's it for now. More later.
