Its my birthday so the snow can only be in my mind

I decided to rough it out and walk into the snow to get to the shala and practice on my birthday.  After all, what you do in this day sets the tone for the year ahead, you don't want to be careless on an important occasion like this.  Then I got downstairs, I had never seen anything like it,  two feet of snow in front of the NY Stock Exchange, really?  It's New York, you think it would have been cleared, like, "pronto".

Picture (by BF) is circa 6 AM, you can barely see the snow but believe me it was coming. still is.

It was no use to keep pushing, I knew what that would mean for the subways (slow, or non-existent), and forgedabout taxis. I am having a good day, so to the snow thing, I am replying "what snow"?

I turned around and practiced in the basement of the building.  In honor of Iyengar I did plenty of backbends and dropbacks with the wall,  ohhhh! the advantages of not being in the shala, the luxury of using the wall without having to ask for permission.

Apparently the guru does an unthinkable amount on his birthdays,  once I heard he does as many as the years he turns,  here I read that on his 80th he did 108

I wanted to see if doing many, many drop backs would loosen things up, and it did.

Fun
