Dribbling in the Library

Today I was able to fit it one of my favorite phrasings used in Brother Fripp's diary: dribbling gently. I would have stayed home if it weren't for painstaking scheduled meetings with one of our library vendor reps, to do some very intensive group work. Instead, I played pathetic host to the proceedings, maintaining the dribblings here and there without attracting too much attention to myself. A nice chicken soup at the local ethnic noodle shop did the trick.

Frippery at above linked site (paraphased since it changed to something else before I could grab it word for word): Suffering is the distance between who you are and who you want to become. I would second that. This self-actualization business is not pain-free. Yet I wouldn't not want to go through it.....
