Local Celebrity in Yoga Class

Run. Yoga. Those two elements always make up a good day and today was a great day. Nothing special about the run. Just a local run on a dirt trail. But the yoga class, now that was something really special.

Friday nights on the west side Kim Culp teaches a candlelight class with live music. Tonight's class had a sitar player. How perfect for yoga. It was great to visit with Kim before class. I hadn't seen Kim for a few months. Then she was trying to teach with a broken foot. That was before her doctor put her in a cast and told her to rest. But since then Kim has healed in a big way. She's performing in Jubilee at Bally's and training for the LV Marathon. What a coincidence! So am I. Training for the marathon that is.

That was enough for a great day but to top it off I thought I noticed a familiar face in the back of the class. It was Ch. 3 news anchor Nina Radetich! I know Nina. We've exchanged email but this was the first time we met. Nina's a cyclist and a runner but I didn't know she did yoga too! What a small world. Kim and Nina made my night!

Oh there was one more thing... When I got home I saw Venus and Jupiter.

Venus is roughly 106 million miles from Earth, while Jupiter is 575 million miles away. Look tonight after dark and maybe you'll see them too. How's that for a day of star gazing?
