Remember that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry David's (cheap) friend always went to the bathroom right before the check arrived when they were out to dinner?
I was on the Acela to NYC to teach at Prana NYC and Prana Brooklyn and went to get a snack in the cafe car --(coincidentally) right when we we were pulling into Providence.
When I returned to my seat, I was still riding solo (no one in the seat next to me).
Later I took a trip to the restroom and noticed as I was washing my hands that we were pulling out of New Haven.
Returned to my seat and still solo.
I smiled as I realized I was pulling a Larry David -- quite synchronistically. I hadn't planned on it, but being in the bathroom or café car works way better than looking elsewhere when people are looking for a seat and you wanna ride solo.
Now I can't do it again because it will then be conscious and thereby unfair to other passengers. Just sorta sneaky. And I ain't sneaky. It only worked because it was magically synchronistic.
As your life will be when you show up to your mat more.
