Yesterday I worked at home and enjoyed the marvellous quiet that is my neighborhood during the work day.

At lunch, I went out to run some errands.

Cost of library fine on Eric's book: $1.30

Cost of a dozen orange-red tulips at my local florist, instead of shopping at the grocery: $13.00 (!! My god.)

Photos of the tulips on Michigan Avenue last week: Priceless.
