[Harp-L] Practice Makes Better -- Part 4

"Practicing" Without the Harmonica

So, for those days on which we forget, or obstreperously defy the authority of Maestro Hunter and venture forth from the house WITHOUT a harmonica in our pocket (shame, shame!), what are some ways we can practice anyway?

Deep breathing.
Rhythm patterns.
Articulations, such as glottal stops (the sound you make in the back of your throat when you say, "Uh-oh, I left the house without a harp in my pocket.").
Singing or humming tunes, or licks you might improvise.

Other ideas?

Thanks in advance,
