All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go…

Oh sorry, was that my out loud voice? It is true though. I managed to get 2 days worth of warm clothes, toiletries, and my zafu into a carry-on suitcase. Now all I have to remember to do is get up at dark o'clock to drive to SFO. In keeping with this compulsively self-documenting phase I seem to be in, I'm bringing a journal, a camera, and a microcassette recorder. And knowing me, I'll be too busy soaking the whole thing up to even bother, but I hope not.

In any case, I hope it will be a great experience, a chance to rest and re-energize. And traveling is always nice—so many places to go, so little time and money. Until next month, when I return, here's a link to a little Zen experience.
