Course Journal: 8/19

Sunday, August 19 2007
Camp Caravan
7:43

"Slept in" until 7:30. Mostly awake from 6:30 on anyway, given the people packing and moving about. Had a very topical dream. Don't remember much except driving away (as a passenger) looking back, and being very sad. There was some slightly (more) complicated back-story explaining why the whole scene was very poignant and sad and miserable. Oi.

Breakfast soon. Sunday = "day off", hence not sitting. Not that I didn't sit a week ago, anyway.

9:16
Departures underway. Polenta w/ the regular granola for breakfast. A few people gone already, so a smaller group. MB, GH, SP, LH at the table with me.

Some of the cabin 1 team tied one on last night. Some beer and wine materialized, and apparently they were up until almost 4. Hung out there for about 10 minutes, then fled for my soul. One comment left me speechless, not due to shock but more because I was biting my tongue.

The Hellboys just drove off.

15:41
Logan airport, Boston

Sitting in one of the pre-security areas, w/ DLV. Christina just went to her gate. Also ran into SP and Lance here. Sat at the Sam Adams pub w/ them for a while. Had a burger and a Coke.

Martin drove me, Christina, and DLV to the airport, leaving around 10:15. Worked OK because then I knew I'd be able to hang out w/ them, and Chris P. was free to just go home. Talked w/ Martin and Christina on the drive, about irritation and other things. One coment I made had Martin in hysterics, touched a bit of a nerve with it.

Departures from the camp were emotional affairs, with folks hanging out fairly quietly in the in-between times, then hugs and cheers and pictures as a group would leave. I enjoyed sitting on the bench in the cool sunlight, chatting between departures. When it came time for mine, it was not like the dream, one key difference leaving me still a bit sad but also with a joyful feeling, wondering at it.

Last night: Curt led the group w/ some Misplaced Faith, circulating the 13/8 breakdown chords (w/ limited success, always ended up as a 12 or 14-count from each section, usually), and dividing up the verse chords into 4-group sections. Then, some circulating. Forgot the details. Well, some of the "all c's" then ds, es, etc up and down. Then Tony's contact-lattice. Big group, took a while. I was in the first quarter or so, and hence ended up "sending" many in a row early on. Flubbed a note early on – began by playing Cs, changed to a B, then an A, and mis-fingered the C – hit a C#, slid up to a D. Oi! wow. My attention was in very short supply after that (more than half the way around). Oh well. Took some effort not to latch on to this for the rest of the night.

Final meeting: course declared complete at 12:09 AM, Sunday. Before the meeting began, some minor drama that was really ... something for me.

One person mentioned that he felt the contact-lattice was the perfect end to the course. That, instead of notes, it was the beating of our hearts. I immediately thought, well then this means my heart skipped a beat at one point.

After the meeting – had some tea in the dining hall. Wel, not really, no more hot water. Talked a bit. Stressed about goodbyes. Went outside, looked at the stars. Got depressed. Went to bed a little after one (after the aforementioned time spent in Cabin 1).

Won't be home for at least another 10 hours. Yuk.

20:21 EST
Cleveland, OH
Whatever the name of the airport here is. Boarding is beginning now. Full flight. Ugh. Uneventful flight here from BOS. Was asked if I wanted to trade my window seat for the aisle in front of it – Mom w/ two teenage sons [who would have been my neighbors]. Accepeted immediately. Then, my new row-mates arrived. Big football-y type and his girlfriend. Asked if I wanted to switch with their friend in a middle seat a few rows back. Nope.

Busier here than it was last Saturday at 6 AM. Don't like the terminal much, walked halfway to find out that I was actually taking the same plane on the next leg.

Sat w/ eyes closed most of the flight. Didn't really sleep. Thoughts preoccupied w/ love and the future.
