King of California

Today is the beginning of a new era. Starting tonight, I will be sleeping in a larger, firmer and overwhelmingly more comfortable bed. After a Saturday afternoon of laying on mattresses up and down Van Ness Street*, a salesman wearing a watch with a ridiculously large face helped us make a significant investment in our non-waking hours. We decided to trade some non-sleepable real estate in the bedroom for additional sleepable real estate when we, yesterday, upgraded from an eight-year-old well-travelled and much-abused queen mattress to.....a California King. It was delivered today.

Today is also important because it is 108 days from today until I turn 31. This is a significant number in yoga tradition and so it seemed an appropriate day on which to both spend a Sunday at work where we are preparing to do a focused 100 day personal/professional development push and to launch a new era of rest. As a result of both, I can't wait to go to sleep tonight.
