intent & practice all rolled up in 1 - BPU Day 3, already

A full day, indeed, so I did not get to practice until well after 8 pm, and I still have not eaten, oh my.

After I studied assiduously for half the day on my IT Acquisitions class, almost got a free helicopter tour (but it turned out there was no room), had a beer with Leona at Squire's Rest, shared champagne with Woodie after he watched Brideshead Revisited and had to buy champagne because they drank it all through the movie, tended to Squirmo the cat upstairs, talked to Herb about his WWII war ship painting, I finally turned to playing.

I played my #4 Scale exercise - just MUST get it in my head before I start blowing! - played the "slowly" exercise at the bottom of page 9, and then would not allow laziness, but made myself work through sections 7 and 8 of the Mussorgsky.
