Road trip!


7 a.m.: I got up about 6 this morning and did my morning meditation. Yesterday was a very spiritual day. I guess it was the combination of meditating twice at the sangha and the long talk with Dan, who teaches philosophy and religion at the college.

Today I have to get ready to drive my teammates up to the NCBI conference. I am looking forward to it.

I have successfully completed four days (Thursday through Sunday) on the Weight Watchers diet without any hardship. I have not felt hungry. I also do not think I have lost any weight, but the key number is the weigh-in at the meeting next Thursday. My blood sugar was better yesterday, and I hope that is the start of a trend.

5 p.m.: The trip up to Lynn went very well. We ran into some traffic near Boston, and I decided to take an alternate route near the airport where I went yesterday. It worked out very well. We are all settled in a lovely b&b on the waterfront.
