"a way to track my activity related to creativity and things that i've found helpful to generate new ideas. waste of time? possibly. talked with students about doing a lot of these things to get them out of the music building and experience life. so, maybe this is a way to track myself and to provide an example to some of my students."

Occupying Space With Your Opponent
Heard an interesting remark from an aikido master a couple of years ago that I've been able to successfully apply to my situation with cancer the past year.
