NST Weekend, end, and return home.

Sunday: Woke at 5:50 to the alarm. Shower. Morning practices in a cubby on the fourth floor.
7:00 Sitting. Afterwards, a helpful comment.
7:30 Right hand warm up with Tony.
8:00 Breakfast. Eggs, soy sausages. Talk about the performances. David asked Tony if he had any observations. Tony said "yes." Bekkie was most generous. Quiet came and visited. I noted that we ought get cleaning up. I did a little packing.
9:30 (orig sch for 9:15) Circle with guitars. Review of material (right and left hands, C Maj)
10:20ish New folks in library with Victor. Tony for rest of arpeggiations. I enjoyed the triads going up the top two strings.
11 AT work with Steph. Review of Monkey and more applications. Review of arm procedures. Walking, taking in the room. Lie down. I was pretty sleepy.
12 prep for leaving/cleaning meeting. We circled up in the main space. I asked Bekkie some questions about what to clean and so on. We put the library back to more or less the way it was when we arrived. I changed bed clothes in the room MB and I had been staying in.
12:45 Lunch set-up. Decided that we would 'circulate' the condiments.
1 Lunch. The cat came and paid us a visit. Yummy burritos. Selling picks and strings.
2:15 Final meeting. I played "Puppy Wrangler." Thanks all around. I found a way to voice the sentiments that had arisen in me the previous night while listening to Bekkie's story. And we were declared complete. One person said the weekend had been almost free of solicitation. I disagreed with the almost. Immediately after these remarks, Tony offered a "sales pitch" for some upcoming courses. The difference between a sales pitch, and a informational message, is the degree to which the speaker is attached to the outcome. In Guitar Craft, we don't care if you show up or not.
3:00 Goodbyes. I took a spin through the house. An awkward moment saying goodbye to the Kalkas, who, in all likelihood, will be parents the next time I see them. But, I know that they know that I wish them well, so, a little awkwardness doesn't matter so much. Ryan and Christopher stayed behind to be picked up by the shuttle.
3:30 MB and I were off.

An uneventful drive back in the rain. Stopped for gas and a coffee. Back in Somerville by about 5:45.
Unloaded the car. Unpacked. Down basement for some daily practices, while MB was unpacking. Pizza. Movie (batman). Thunder and lightening.
