  * bed ~1am EDT; slept badly

Pretty much the entire day was consumed by travel; fortunately it was boring. Spent the entire trip reading Wherever You Go, There You Are and jotting down occasional insights.

OK, the trip wasn't boring: I not only got a lot out of the book, but a couple of good insights and one rather strange but wonderful experience that will show up on the River soon.

Got met in the airport by my brother, picked up by my nephew (asavitzk), and spent some time with Al and my niece.

Still on West Coast time, so slept very badly. Time for breakfast. Schedule uncertain, but I'll probably have some time free on Sunday.
