It’s 8 in the morning, and I’m contemplating the philosophical difference between not practicing because I’m lazy, and not practicing because I’m crazy overscheduled every day. On one hand, it doesn’t matter. Skills only get better with consistent time invested, and regardless of the reasons, if the time doesn’t get put in, the skills are not going to improve. Still, it’s a little galling to be running and running and–in this arena–standing still.
