My Top V for the Week 4/15--the ides of April










1) Mischke-- Mischke brodcasts out of St. Paul, Minnesota out of KSTP 1500 which is a blow torch so I could pick up in Nebraska where I went college. Some of the most brilliant radio you have ever heard--and really there is no one like him. You can now pick up the podcast. http://www.mischkemadness.com/

2) Chickens--Ah chickens. Looks like the wife and I will be inheriting a set of backyard chickens. We are lucky that our town is where all the old farmers retired because livestock is generally permitted. A cow used to live in a yard across from the golf course for years. I've raised chickens twice prior...I've witnessed my dog swallow a chick whole--suffice to say I wasn't as happy about the ordeal as the dog was. I've seen with my very eyes a turkey in full attack mode against one of my little bantams--it was prehistoric. And of course I ate a lot eggs. I firmly believe life is much richer with chickens. http://raising-chickens.com/chicken-coops.html
3) The Elected live show on XM--who are these fellows? Very good show. http://www.myspace.com/theelected
4) Krautburgers-- Yummy cabbage, hamburger, salt and pepper baked in bread.



5) Yoga-- Okay so they came up with this Yoga-thing in India a trillion years ago and its all new-agey and weird, but really it is like the best thing in the world...especially, if your some thirty-odd-some guy with high cholesterol and demanded by his doctor to relax. I do hatha Yoga with a bunch of old ladies at retirement center-- you take what you get out here in the wild west. It reminds me of kintergarden nap time and p.e. I think at some point we will need to get out a parachute and shake it with foam balls on it circa 1979. http://www.yogajournal.com/

I enjoy your lists - a good addition to the blog!

And props to you on the yoga - I'm impressed! I love yoga.

My parents had chickens for years. There is nothing like fresh eggs. No comparison to the store-bought stuff.

Good to hear you're going with the yoga. I signed up for a beginner class a while back and loved it. I had to join a gym for fitness purposes and couldn't afford to keep it up. Hopefully, when I leave the city, I'll be able to take it up again at least for once a week.
