The postman was benevolent today. First was delivered a Utilikilt, a belated birthday gift from Chava. I’ve been keen on getting one for a while, despite a few comments that I’d look ridiculous in one — apparently skinny men in kilts aren’t for everyone. I seem to have both simultaneously filled out and gotten wirier, though, and the kilt fits and looks pretty darned good. There can be only one!

After that I answered the door, kilted, to sign for my very own copy of the Adobe Creative Suite. Yes, I’m finally at that conjunction where I both really need the muscle of Photoshop, Illustrator, et al, and can afford to take the (blissfully tax deductible) hit on my pocketbook. Now I can create lens flares and stick President Bush’s head onto people riding burros with righteous impunity.

I’m doing a lot of interesting work, and haven’t enjoyed my job more in a long time. To be honest, the flow and trajectory of life is good in general. I’m a lucky guy.

EDIT: Image requested, and delivered!
