(5pm) I drove up to Great Falls today for a seminar. (With all the rain and construction it took forever to get here.) (I had never been down that road before, it was a beautiful drive, and it was actually nice going slower, so I could enjoy the scenery!)

(9pm) I drove back to Missoula through Helena this time. (Tis 40 miles further, but it took 30 minutes less time than the other route.)
Twas nice to get out and drive! (It had been a long time!)

(5pm) Erica stopped by for some more dominos. (Neat!)
(11pm) I finally finished "Jitterbug perfume". (Another great book!)
Quotes:
Tom Robbins, "Jitterbug perfume" – "… to achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought."
"If the earth needs nite as well as day, wouldn’t it follow that the soul requires endarkenment to balance enlightenment?"
Note from the ozone: Addiction is really just another name for habit. (Behavior repeated over and over through time moves to the unconscious level, and the repetition continues until the conscious mind gets involved and makes an effort to shut the program off.) (The problem with habits is that they tend to lead to mediocrity.) (I think there are benefits to be derived from becoming immersed in something for a time, but a lot of the benefit seems to come from reemerging and adding the useful bits and pieces found there to the tapestry of one’s life. (e.g., I have learned and gained from this immersion into solitude, but going on with this path indefinitely will lead me to mediocrity. (Someday I will have to relite the fires, and emerge back into the world of the living!)))

(8pm) Nice workout! (I have been feeling like I am gaining weight, but the scales say I am holding steady.)
