Tough time right now on writing project. Very tense interacting with others. Much frustration.

But I banged out a column today (about a book on Mubarek), and that helped.

Then the day is rescued completely by my receiving word that a big Enterra deal that I initiated (contact-wise, but not content-wise, as Steve is the maestro there and I happily stroke my second fiddle) had finally been approved by the partner entity. Historic deal for us; maybe for the world eventually.

Point being, it's good to have many masters, and you ain't the boss of me until I've tried to quit on you at least twice.
