Good morning Pubski -- well it's morning in the PDTimezone - Pacific Daylight (not Parkinson's Disease). All you Easterners have already changed your lives!

1. Anyone in a relationship, read what tng wrote below in this thread. It's such a novel idea to make significant decisions with significant others - that is, if your decision affects their well-being. It might not always be practical, but it's an practice to keep in the back of your mind as an ideal.

2. Me: This has been a good trip. Interesting, fun work awaits me here in January. I have another meeting tomorrow that might lead to more interesting, fun activities.

3. What can be learned? Even when an art experience isn't 100% transformative and transcendent (and they usually are not), I learned that with thoughtful companions, I can pull insight and reflection from an experience...and that deepens the experience and the relationships. I'm thrilled that I created two blogs on King Lear and I'm working on a third. -- These are time and energy consuming, but worth it.

4. Heading back east, there will be things to face, but I can handle it and you will help me in your supportive disembodied way.
