Only because 1] I'm up early again and 2] since he doesn't allow non-Blogger commenting any more, this is about the only way I can let my buddy Freeman know I still read his terrific blog, I'll respond to his blog tag. [Updated 3/8: see end of fourplay list]

Now that the fourplay's over, a brief meditation report. Yesterday I did quite well with it. I set the timer for five minutes, and settled down on the floor. Between the hum of the washing machine running below, and focusing on my own breathing, I was mostly able to observe thoughts and musical bits entering and leaving my mind rather than allowing them to pull me back to gotta-do-something land. The five minutes went by very quickly; I wanted more but decided not to push it, as I do have a lot on my list to do right now. I'm hopeful I'll do as well today, but without more laundry to be done I may have more of a challenge ahead of me.

Oh, and just in case you aren't familiar with Freeman, he's not all about silly meme-spreading. Recently he did a great job in his fourth WalMart post, and a very interesting report on a planned town being built by Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan. Thank something-or-other that goofball isn't a bureaucrat!
