11-13-2009: It's Friday the 13th in the Desert

Have a great weekend Coachella Valley - 

Hello my fellow fitness freaks! Take a break from your regular fitness routine and get in some Spiritual Fitness at the Riveria. Innerfaith Ministries Silent Aution at the Spa Hotel. Plus the International Food Festival at the Palm Springs Mall. There's also the Rancho Mirage Art Affaire. Or head to the Palm Springs Art & Food Festival at Hotel Zoso where you can get some more of that Skinny Coffee.

That's if you're staying in town. Outta town there's the Tour de Foothills - a premiere cycling event.

If you're going up to Idyllwild plan on taking a jacket. It's suppose to get cold!

Success to all in the above affairs. Safety to the Foothill riders. Be safe this Friday the 13th.

Enjoy all - Once again, thank you all for your support. Let me know what you think of the new color scheme.
