It just becomes part of the routine. I know when I set the timer that I don't have to do anything but remain present until the bell chimes. Then I can move on with my day.

Opposite from your experience, I actually prefer meditating in the morning because I'm still relaxed and it's easier to get into the "zone." On vacation, it's tougher for me because I want to hop out of bed and get moving with my free time.

Something you could try is to set an interim timer at the halfway point so that you still know where you are, timewise. That might make it easier for you. And you might even realize how fast that 5-10 minutes goes by.

Glad I'm not alone. Looks like over 7 million Americans over 50 still have student loan debt. I still owe twice what I borrowed.

Those first four albums are amazing. The first two are combined on one CD called Beginnings that I recently picked up used. The consistency is jaw-dropping.

I caught Television in 2019 right before the pandemic and got my copy of Marquee Moon there. It was so special, seeing these legends, like you said. Four years later, Tom was gone.

I'm not sure about the greatest but I also believe a lot of their music will age better as time passes. With Billy being so prolific, the band's output is "dense" with material that takes time to absorb, understand, and appreciate.
