At this point, something had taken hold of me and was clearly pulling me off the course. I still had no idea what it was (but on Wednesday, I would).

Comments from lunch were very good - Tony G. made one in particular that really struck me, regarding the beet soup at lunch. He noted (and I paraphrase) that the soup really tasted of the air we were breathing and the place we were inhabiting; one could tell that the meal came from this garden. I had been striving to make as much use as possible of the garden and what was available. Too much so at dinner - the salad was awful. The cake saved things, though.

Guests at lunch: Marc B., Billy J. and his wife. Billy arrived a bit into lunch, and as a result, there wasn't much soup left for him or his wife. Portion control was a real challenge all week, and I felt it acutely. Also some questions and comments at lunch, regarding the distinguishing characteristics of an intelligent person, a creative person and transmission. A hint offered in the discussion of the intelligent person. I don't remember whether this was offered, but it certainly should have been: an intellilgent person knows when to ask for help.
