Friday: Up around 8. Shower, Gus, Packing. Down basement for morning practices, drums and a little guitar. Packed the car, and headed out. Stopped for a coffee at Starbucks and a muffin in the place next door.
Satisfying day at work. Found and fixed a small but significant bug that was causing each transition to have a bit of incorrectly blended signal. Checked that in just in time for another beta round. Headed off on my NYC trip a little after 3 PM.
Made pretty decent time getting into the city. Hit some traffic on the FDR, but still arrived in the neighborhood with plenty of time to spare. Found a parking garage. At the yoga center, it turned out they were running late. Sat in the cafe without much of anything to do, people watching. Saw some familiar faces. Lots of activity, most of it involving laptop computers. I went and found my way into the hall, but was told I couldn't be in there yet. Sat in the hall trying to stay out of the way. People spread rose petals on the floor, and strung Christmas lights around. Eventually they let us in. After another long wait, some people chanted some mantras accompanied by hand drums and guitar. Some of us sang along. That was pleasant. Finally, GMR and Christine arrived. They gave a teaching, and then the new release of the Asian Classics Input Project was discussed. Many thanks to many people. Some stories. Then the event turned into a dance party. I ate the most exquisite little chocolate ball. GMR and Christine were dancing with some kids. My shoes were lost for a bit. Headed out. Drove back to my mom's house. She had some warm milk in the kitchen when I arrived. Chatting. Then soon to bed after completing the day.
