A visit to the Mennonites’ farm

By |2012-07-02T09:35:34+12:00July 2nd, 2012|Adventure|

Every week at the feria, we buy raw, unpasteurized goat yogurt and goat milk from Noah Ulric. He was kind enough to invite our family out to his farm this past weekend for lunch. Noah has four daughters, a young son, and a sixth baby on the way! His girls were so nice to our [...]

Plyometrics by the pool.

Like putting on an old favorite pair of trousers, this fits me well and reminds me of what living my life used to be like, exercising diligently every [...]

I am a modern techno-mage. This time in history, my power is unparalleled. I imagine one of my ancestors, traveling forward in time to spend a day with me. My explanations of how I spend my time would reveal the modern world to be magical. I wake to a song on my iPhone. This small [...]

After a decade of practicing the physical aspects of yoga, I got bored. Little did I know, the Asana is only one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga. Building my body into peak physical condition relied on an intense Yoga practice, a love of Parkour, and an 18-month love affair with P90X. After having [...]

Under Capitalization

By |2012-06-04T10:13:48+12:00June 4th, 2012|Introspection|

I've been over-capitalized. For the past couple of years, I've been in the habit of capitalizing my name wherever it appears online. My Twitter handle is @CAELANHUNTRESS, my signature is always in capitals, and the 'from' field of all emails that people receive says 'CAELAN HUNTRESS' in big, loud letters. My purposes for doing this [...]
