Rise at 5:45. Sitting, working with the theme of Goodwill (in addition to Intention and Presence). My sense of this is one of building, that Goodwill requires both to be true and honest. A delay getting out of the house (not due to inattentiveness for a change), and in to work.
Lashed to the desk longer than I intended this morning, addressing some overnight issues. Frustrating for me, even more frustrating for my development team.
Lower-body focus in the gym today:
- 1/4 mile run (10-minute pace)
- 3 rounds 10 dead-lifts w/35# & 45# KB
- 3 rounds single-leg stability 15 sec each leg
- 3 rounds calf raises 20 each legs
- 3 rounds 10 front squats w/20# & 25# KB
More focus on quality of form than maximum weight.

Discussion this morning about a disconnect in the business process and how it affects us, as a downstream process. I can see the end-gaining going on: there is a lot of "doing" while acknowledging the problems. The business flow doesn't allow (or the perception is that it doesn't allow) a slow-down in order to make things more efficient. Fundamentally, things need to stop for a week, and allow people to regroup and call out the things that are making the job near impossible without a high level of constant heroics. A Kaizen event would be ideal, but I'm not sure I could convince peope to a) do the event, and b) follow up on the recommendations.
The very definition of involuntary suffering.

Rise at 5:45, shower, sitting and off to work. Found myself looping from the car to the house twice, as I forgot two things on the way out. Inauspiscious way to begin the day. More of a start really.
A crazy week for looking forward and back:
- Potential news this week about the Higgs boson, aka why some things have mass
- A research team leaving for a small island in the Pacific, with a strong lead that they have found where Amelia Earhart was stranded after crashing
--------------------------------
A good morning workout, very upper-body focused:
3 times through:
5 presses each arm (35# KB)
5 pull-ups
10 pushups (hands on medicine balls)
10 rows each arm (45# KB)
20 overhead swings (45# KB)
I think this will be at least twice a week, with the Friday big workout as the third.
---------------------------------
Beginning the middle week of the AAD. I've been struggling with my capacity to learn new material. Part of this may be the time I approach it (evenings), part of it seems to be an internal limit. Looking for ways to improve this - a limited ability to read and "envision" the music feels like the the main things to address.
---------------------------------
Home. Tired. Practice. Play. Bed
