Sid Cook, 59, is a fourth generation Wisconsin cheese maker. Carr Valley Cheese Company has its line of staple products that assure a proper cash flow and profit. Yet, Cook knows, to keep the company alive and invigorated and to continue to foster consumer interest, he needs to be continually introducing a new brand of cheese. He always needs a cheese with a new flavor and a new name that will keep people coming back to his stores.
Cook develops the recipe for a new cheese in his head. He says he is able to do this by "putting my mind in neutral." This is accomplished at the end of the work day when he plays classical music on his piano for an hour.
We are told that while Peter was speaking, "the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word." Perhaps this is because of the soothing and pastoral words of Peter were able to put the minds of his listeners in neutral, much like listening to classical music, and they were able to absorb his message.
