A Lovely Quote from Mark Twain / Olympics


Teaching was great today. The Yoga Studio on Yonge and Eglington was interesting as always - hello Vanessa!

As for the students, they want to LEARN - and if that can't motivate a teacher, I don't know what can. It's so great to be able to teach people who are motivated :)

Saw this quote the other day from Mark Twain - jeez, I haven't thought about him, since I read Huck Finn decades ago:

"Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. "

There's a power of perspective there...

PS - did anyone see that speedskating team event where the Canadians won a silver medal? Hil made a good point how if were watching in person at the rink it would be mildly entertaining, but it sure doesn't televise well. Almost the equivalent of watching 2 different shades of paint drying. Will it be the beige? Or the off white?

On another note, the boardercross was awesome! Not only has snowboarding saved skiing, it can say it's saved the olympics now too :)
