up before 5am with an upset stomach. my ability to digest certain kinds of cheese has practically ceased. got about a half hour sleep in after that before bridge woke up. morning with bridge at the bagel store. taught bridge another important word: intentional. talked about what it is like to do things without accidents. this is, for me, one of the critical qualities which discerns the higher world from the outer world - the occurence of accidents. it is a funny thing to do too, to define the word intentional, it's not quite the same as on purpose, and without accidents is a negative definition, 'just so' is close, 'just the way you mean it to be'.... this word is right up there with persistent in it's fundamental importance. went into work only to find that the shows were pushed an hour forward, but somehow, my alternate, robb, had shown up thinking he was doing the first two shows so no one noticed my lateness. took a nap on a couch at work, because it's more peaceful there than at home during the day, and after doing the holiday schedule (24 shows in 8 days after christmas....) with robb and dave came home for another hour with bridge. in finally for a good show. and home.
