I was up at a decent time, and packed a few more things to add to the things I'd "prepacked" last night which means print the labels and have each thing packed all but the final taping-up and putting the label on.
I thought the post office might be closed but Ebay's pretty good about not showing a thing has to be shipped by a date, if that date is one that the post office is closed on. Therefore, I wonder if it might be closed on Monday but it was open today.
I did the usual routine, dropped things off there and at FedEx, picked up some shipping stuff on the way back, and got back in here.
Veterans Day is often a big pain because things aren't open right when it's very important for me that they be so, but so far no problems.
I only practiced a little last night, mainly messing around with playing the very highest note (Ro dai kan) and seeing how easy it can be these days.
While out on the bike today, I thought about how Herbert L. Clarke told his students to keep their chest up/out while playing even to the end of their air and tried my breathing exercises this way. This ... might lead me somewhere. It's more tiring but it might help having both "more air" and more resonance.
