In the midst of the turmoil that defines the first few days of my week, my wife brought home some clothes that a co-worker's wife is discarding. Most are a size too small for me, but I did find a couple of attractive tops to add to my wardrobe.

Tomorrow, I meet with my partners in the morning. Then, the storm of work will pass, and I'll wrap things up in the afternoon and get ready for our ballet outing.

I had my hair cut today. Everyone was friendly as usual - going out of their way to talk to me and, in the case of one very nice young lady who was recently hired, coming over to introduce herself. My friend at the reception desk had a glass of wine being poured when I walked in. It's such a wonderful group of people. The owner creates a fun yet professional atmosphere.

I did a little writing for Ann by email today, and I've promised Susan that I'll create the copy for the new RSVP web site.

These are the little pleasures that keep me sane as I long to be free of my business obligations.
