Friday, I'm in Love: Yoga, Yogurt, Apple

My Apple computer and I have a bond that runs deep. We've been together for nearly fours years, which makes him a dinosaur in Apple years (yes, it's a "he," and he has a name). Nevertheless, I see no reason for an upgrade. This computer changed my life, and I don't mean that lightly, but that's a topic for another day. For today, per our new, little Friday tradition, I'm in love with three things, the first of which is indeed Apple related. Last night, I attended my weekly One-to-One session at the store on Boylston Street. In short, I paid a reasonable fee and now have access to an Apple expert one hour, per week, for a year, to learn anything my little heart desires. Tonight, I flirted with iWeb, and so far, I like what I see. Plans for a second date are imminent.

As you know, I'm a new fan of Pinkberry frozen yogurt following my most recent trip to NYC. As a result, I've been out of luck back in Boston, as the healthy chain has yet to open a franchise location here. There's a smattering of purveyors selling similar yogurt treats, such as Berry Lime and BoYo, but none near me, so I was elated to discover a new flavor of Haagen Dazs at the grocer last weekend, Tart Natural Low Fat Frozen Yogurt. While the texture doesn't quite match the divine standards of Pinkberry, the taste is pretty perfect. Rumor has it I'll be having a summer fling with this flavor.

Finally, my post-marathon hips want to send a love letter to a great variation on half-pigeon. Lately, I have been doing lots of this pose with the help of my foam roller. Essentially, I sit on the foam roller and use it to leverage my shin away from my body. By adding the use of the roller to this familiar pose, the asana becomes almost medicinal in nature. I've been using to help rehab a sore right hip following the Boston Marathon last month.
