Here's a story for you:

I woke-up at 5:00 this morning to the beautiful coos and purrs of our adorable, snuggley kitten who sweetly and gently nudged me into consciousness. He (Colin) wanted to remind me that sunrises are beautiful and that I should sit and watch this morning's with him..

Actually it was more like a freaking tornado siren coming from a 50 lb bag of potatoes balanced on two pencils (erasers down, thank God!) that were jabbing into my sternum. Wait. Where's my sternum? Anyway, Colin didn't give a damn about the beautiful sunrise. He wanted some breakfast and a chance to pee outside.

(sigh) What was that thing about mindful breathing again?

Whatever. Wish granted, you dastardly cat, but now I am awake (and apparently crabby)...

In all of my glorious crankitude, I started reading some blogs and I found this post by Yogabeans, recommended by Fussy. My mood changed instantly, and I found myself laughing out loud (sorry Rich and Casey). What would happen if superheroes and diabolical villains took a yoga class together? Go link and find out...
Here is a teaser:


Ardha Baddha Padmottanasana

Spiderman: "I thought we'd have class outside today on this rustic wood plank. Any objections?"
Mr. Freeze: "As soon as I can think of a diabolical response to that question, I will impart it to you, web-slinging do-gooder."
Flash: "Dude, is this floor made out of an old fence or something?"
Woody: "Don't fence me in! Ha, ha!"
Green Lantern: "Oh my god, I think I'm in the wrong class."

AND there are pictures - the best part and the worst part at the same time. (double think 101)

OK, then. Colin, I forgive you.
I'm off to watch a sunrise!
