“Namaste” Means “Hello”

Written by Susan Fritz | Saturday, November 7th, 2015 Posted in Blog, Yoga
I really and truly must give 99% of this post’s credit to my friend Laura who lives in Oregon (who, in turn, gives credit to an article she read in an NPR article. It’s all appropriately meta, riiiiight? Laura knows a lot about a lot—but especially about The Yoga. A couple of visits ago we were standing in her kitchen snacking on oranges (she was, incidentally, saving the rinds for a sort of “Urban Homesteader” project that at first glance might seem straight outta Portlandia casting…bu...

Baby Monkey on a Leash, or “Nuthin’ to See Here”

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, November 5th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, Moving Images
This little creature lives in the place I’m currently staying in Ubud, Bali. He seems happy enough, has friends to play with (including an adorable puppy of similar size), and wants for nothing…aside from his jungle home (minor detail…). I dunno what to say about this one–but as long as you can suspend some level of judgment, his “squeak” is adorable.

Go Ahead and Tempeh-Me

Written by Susan Fritz | Wednesday, October 28th, 2015 Posted in Bali, Blog, What I Write
If you know anything about me, it’s that my favorite non-meat is Tempeh. Now for you non-veg heads TEM-PAY is fermented soybeans (but it’s not tofu!). Sounds terrible, but it’s delicious and the only meat imposter which can, in capable hands, transform into a plausible fake bacon (although it lacks the pliability to wrap around a scallop). You don’t have to believe me or eat it. You simply must imagine my surprise when I found these jobbies: Tempe chips (different coun...

Love the One You’re With

Written by Susan Fritz | Saturday, October 24th, 2015 Posted in Blog, Hawaii, What I Write
 “Today is the first day of the rest of your life!” she projected, absent a sound system at 9000-plus feet above the Maui sea level. “Enjoy it, and love the ones you’re with.”   This experience somehow felt brave, and I really never feel brave. Brave is reserved for Smoke Jumpers and Marines and 8th-grade teachers…not me. I consider my “bravest act” last night when I crushed a cockroach with only a Kleenex (TM) between us–and then flu...
