Do you think yoga will help?

We got up yesterday morning and drove to Oklahoma City. We wanted to take our 9-year old grandson out for his birthday lunch and shopping trip. We told him he could choose where we went for lunch. I was expecting a place like Gattitown or Dave and Buster's. (Those are kiddie-casinos - places where you pay $30 for a child to play games for 30 minutes to win a prize worth 30 cents. An excellent business model, by the way.)

But instead, he chose Schlotzky's. Because they're fast. Clearly he did not want to waste any time getting to the Lego store.

In the Lego store, we bought the three things in the Ninjago collection that he didn't already have and went on to GameStop where we threatened to buy them out of Skylanders. In fact the young lady at the register suggested we might want to purchase a carrying case for our Skylanders. But we didn't.

Because one of his sisters and his mom came with us, we HAD to stop in at Claire's. Even though she's 11 and a year or so away from make-up, she had to look. Even though the inventory will change before she's allowed to have any of it, she does not see looking at it as a waste of time. (Clearly she has far more time than I do...) But Claire's proved to be good fun - lots of things to try on - hats, glasses, mustaches...

We set out for home after having some of the best smoked brisket ever and we got home just after 11 pm last night. I struggled to stay awake for the drive. (If Mark struggled, he didn't say. I hope it was easier for him since he was driving.) But after riding in the Jeep for three hours, I found that muscles and joints didn't want to move to get me into the house so I could go straight to bed.

I seem to remember a time when I could ride in the car far longer than three hours and arrive at my destination ready to party. Do you think yoga will help?
