A day to smell the flowers

What a great day today was... Things at work were fairly mellow because it was the Friday before the Easter holiday. I was able to get some work done but I was feeling a little impatient because I've been working on a deal that was taking longer than anticipated and I was afraid my team might have to be re-dedicated to other projects if I couldn't get this thing locked down soon. They'd already put so much work into it. And the last thing I wanted was this hanging over my head before the holiday weekend... Around 1:30, my client and I agreed to terms on two key projects that will give us an opportunity to do some very compelling online marketing that integrates video and audio. True digital convergence. The program is targeted to teens and will be up in July in time for the Back To School retail boon. I'll keep everyone posted on how the project progresses and when the communications will be in the market. I can't wait...

After that, I had drinks with another client from 2pm - 3pm and our office closed promptly at 3 to parole everyone early to enjoy the holiday. I didn't leave till nearly 4, but when I got home it was at least 75 degrees outside, Carys had just awoken from a nap in a great mood, Corrie was already home and the three of us sat on the front porch chatting with neighbors and enjoying the sunshine.

To top it all off, the Cubs are beating the Pirates in the top of the 9th, 11-6. Another half inning to go. Life is very, very good today.
