4. Choosing lots of new frame samples and ordering frames for all the artwork I've acquired this winter, and for some pieces that I've had for years.
5. Keith at TC Moulding. What a nice guy.
6. Pleasant interactions with Vienna at the PPNA Arts and Culture committee meeting.
7. A good, long zoning-out walk at the Y.
8. A long hot shower: shaving and scrubbing away some of winter's dry deadness.
