My business partner/mentor (and, oh, by the way, husband) is mulling over whether he works too much and plays too little.  His 'reward' to himself, for instance, for a full day at the office, is to weed the garden or fix the roof.  He has always seemed happy but is also open minded and always open to new thought.  That thought, currently, is an ATV.  I was thinking that we moved to the country for peace & quiet but around here, a 4-wheeler is intrinsic to rural life.  I don't mind if he gets a toy, including this one -- at least it's somewhat cheaper and (somewhat) less dangerous than a motorcycle.  His first wife got to go through THAT phase with him; I am not thinking to.  So, we shall see, and I will keep you posted.

Chatted at length my my carver last night.  She is going through some life upheavals also but is working diligently on the carven jildos and seems to be enjoying it immensely.  I am really looking forward to seeing her tonight; she is also a breath of fresh air.

I have to break later this afternoon and run some errands with my mother.  I will make up for it this evening, of course; when you're self employed you're rarely 'off the clock'.  But it is such a relief she has improved her health; Mike taught me that 'you get what you expect', and that is so true!

Well, I reckon I shall get on with it!  Ciao for now,
Jilda
