Casey Bernstein, Nia Trainer teaches our class at 1 PM tomorrow!
I was speaking with Casey last week. Casey was my Nia belt trainer in Albany NY and the owner of The Center for Nia and Yoga. She is also the choreographer of our fun Slumdog Millionaire routine. I asked her if she would teach for us on zoom sometime and she said, how about Monday. So Monday you get to dance with Casey and me. Hope to see you at this special class tomorrow, May 18th at 1PM EST
For more on Casey, visit her Nia HQ page or her video on why she teaches Nia. Like me, she too was a former nurse.
Join us as we revisit an old favorite, Pink Martini. Fun routine, great music. If you have not experienced this routine or the music of Pink Martini, you are in for a treat…

Still sheltering at home and looking out from the living room. Some photos from the last week or so (plus the tree at Niles Pond with its coronavirus PPE). Today is the Seventeenth of May, Norway’s national holiday, with no parades this year. But Anne-Lise and I are celebrating – skaal!









Everyone know I am a beach bum even if it a little cold.


I’ve been craving oysters since the shut down and have not finessed shucking. Turner’s had the perfect solution for my late afternoon snack.

Generous Gardeners made it to O’Maley Saturday morning to install grasses in the front school beds, after the great reconstruction job completed by the DPW. I’m sharing the whole process with you to see how it evolved. Today I was working with Susan Kelly and Jamie Friend who were patient with the layout process and then we planted. We put in feather reed, zebra, muly, and Japanese forest grasses which have different heights and colors for interest against the building. It should be beautiful. We did all this in three hours!

A handsome Little Blue Heron came within camera range recently. Shared the marsh area with an egret who preferred to social distance. It almost looks like he’s wearing a mask!



An almost normal kind of family beach activity we noticed recently at Pebble Beach. I was able to stay distanced and masked for a short conversation with this family. That’s Giorgio under the sand bed made by Dimitri and Leo. Dad (Matthew) overseeing the effot. They seemed glad to talk to me which is probably an indicator of how bored they have been!



My guy, the Number One Undisputed Vet In The Nation Ray Cahill with some sage advice on how to keep D.C. from tearing up the couch right here:



Ray is the man. If you have a pet here’s the business info-

COVID UPDATE: We are open! Although our hours have temporarily shifted to 8a-4p Mon-Thurs and 7a-3p Fri. We are currently closed Saturdays. Also, we have switched to a “curbside” model where we have clients call the hospital when they arrive and are then given instructions on how to safely transport their pet to the designated area in the hospital for their exams, diagnostics and treatments. Many routine services and elective surgeries are currently not available because of the impact the pandemic has had. Please know that we are working our hardest to do the best we can and are prioritizing the most needy patients. We are immensely grateful for your patience and understanding during these trying times. Please stay well.
