Today is rainy and overcast—my favorite kind of day—that reminds me of the English countryside wet with dew in the early morning. Luckily, we’ll have rainy and overcast days throughout much of this week, and I can just stay indoors and exercise.
I’ve received a request for secrets to my fitness and diet routine:
“Your exercise/eating advice [...]
We went through several iterations before coming up with the name for the website: Mermaid and Sun…Muse and Tango…Millennium Muse…among them.
