(Productive) days like this

I love days like this. Late dinner with colleagues last night. Ignored e-mails. Slept in, handled urgencies. Long, creative phone calls with MD Anderson (briefing for upcoming seminar for their staff & docs), Flagstone (high-flying St. Louis-based client very successfully niched in the M&A world), Fast Company (1-hr interview with a senior editor), MarketPlace (interview with one of their feature commentators). Ignored e-mails. A little workout, a little sun. All-afternoon creative meetings with Levenger folks at their gorgeous HQ facility in Delray Beach (as I said, more to come). Stroll a couple of blocks in Coral Gables to Cacao, a great Venezuelan restaurant in the neighborhood, an hour on the phone with Rick and Richard (dear friends, great consultants on our team)... and still ignoring e-mails.

Ah, the wonderfully dangerous edge of knowing how to get in control, so you don't have to be...!
