the breakfast prep assignment for a week. That means getting up at 4 AM. It was dark so I wore a headlamp. I had already set up the stoves and the
tables the night before. I turned
on the stoves to heat water and set out the coffee and tea prep, the lunch prep materials and the breakfast cereal. I must
have gotten up early because Lala didn’t do Wake Up until 5:15. Ed Fallon has written a song about the
March. There’s a line in the
chorus that says…”get your lazy ass out of bed…”</span></p>

was better on my tailbone but it required using a different set of muscles from
riding the recumbent. The route was mostly flat so it was not a problem. I did some jounaling and set up the
solar panel and the big tent. In
the afternoon Chris, the CO coordinator, conducted a repeat of the ‘Discover
the Best of What Is’ session we had done 2 days ago. There were 5 new participants.
I found the process unhelpful. We spent and hour and ½ and I couldn’t identify
how we would benefit from the end product or what we would do with it. </span></p>

breakfast/lunch set-up again. We
hadn’t observed the sprinkler system for the park. At midnight the sprinklers went off. Our tent, the big tent,
and many others, got wet.</span></p>
