I Really Should Talk to This Guy More Often

Recently I've acquired a touch of asthma. Addressing that bothersome condition has led to an unforeseen benefit: I now meditate in the gym sauna.

10-15 minutes of quiet time in the steam room not only clears the lungs (and pores), it also settles the mind.

Without distractions--especially from electronic devices--I've come up with a new approach to a complicated spreadsheet, a different priority for a committee that I chair, and a couple of thoughts to add to an essay. There haven't been any huge breakthroughs, but I wasn't expecting even little ones.
