Wake with the alarms, and rise shortly after. Morning routine and in to work. Turning over menu ideas in my head on the way down to work this morning, also looking over the list of things I want to bring with me for the kitchen. Also, holding a sense of how the first three days will go. I'll have a bit better sense of this on Sunday after the work day at the camp.
Work this morning on financial details for the team. We're at that point in the year where we need to report on internal financials, costs and any additional income. This is interesting in its own way, as it's like a puzzle for me to figure out, but not as interesting at the moment as planning out meals.

More financial details completed and sent out to the boss. Head out from work early to go to dinner before the Police concert. We meet MarcB, his wife Tzu and MarkB at an East Hartford Korean restaurant near the concert venue. Good food, and some reminiscing about Guitar Craft courses, the emotions that clear the surface, crying jags and all manner of amazement at what happens on a course, with even more amazement at how this is guided and contained in the moment. Some sharing of changes due to the Lunlunta course last year. I see a bit deeper into MarcB's past year.
Out to the concert - overall very good. The music was great, and it's a gift to watch Stewart Copeland percuss. They were tight, but there seemed to be something missing from the show. It could have been the waves of absence from the trio behind me, but I also think that Sting's years of jazziness have softened the edges of what had been some very angry music. It's not a bad thing - the three have obviously matured out of the destructive energy they had when they broke up in '86, however the set lacked some of the vitality it could have had. The middle of the show dragged a bit, and "The Bed's To Big" seemed to kill the energy they had going. Some things I would have liked to have heard, but all in all, a good show.
