one could apply this to almost anything, it seems. my aging parents were over the other day, and as we were sitting in the living room talking about dinner plans, things started to get a little prickly. i said, 'hey, what about we take a little walk in the neighborhood?' and it was like the perfect intermission in the visit. afterwards we went to dinner and all prickliness was gone.

How funny you should write about intermissions. This Sat I start the first-ever sabbatical (as I've been calling it) for 8 weeks, all client work on hold (with their support, bless them). My plan is rest + percolation + fun while handling day-to-day necessities. I love thinking about this period as an intermission instead.
