'bye 'bye bone

It has been a very long time since I have done this, abandoned my t-bone, but I am leaving for a week today and my beautiful instrument will be here on its stand, alone without me the whole time. I'm going to visit Carey in Seattle and to a meditation retreat in Nelson, BC, and fitting trombone playing in with those activities sounded complicated almost to the point of silliness.

Also, interestingly, I feel mature enough in my practice that I can handle a week off. I'm already eager to pick it back up, a week from now. I'm already longing to play, just a little now. This might be the rest reason for leaving the trombone behind.
