Bingo! Give Sal a cupie doll. You nailed it. A drama queen. As far as the moods, well you'd have to be there to experience them. This is one powerful dude, so everyone who encounters this dude feels his profound mood swings. One of the jumps forward this year is on the Christmas holiday WPA to pick up the slack of people going away for the holidays and Christmas break at MUM. There's an option to go into silence on Maharishi's former schedule but this time for the first time I've seen things will be set up so one can be in silence. Annupura and Dome activities will be set up to accomodate being in silence. This sounds like a great idea and I may avail myself of the option. Going into silence is wonderful. It settles down the physiology and quiets things down inside. Thankfully there will be food because I couldn't take Maharishi's practice of going into silence for a week with only a glass of water, no matter how many packages of Twinkies you've already hidden around your residence.
