What a week! I've been at work till nine most nights, working on the relaunch issue of the magazine. I have just presented all the page proofs to the Board. They loved it. Oh, a few minor quibbles here and there, a few very good suggestions, a few directors needing to make at least one change, to stamp their personality on it. [Hey, that's OK, I had deliberately left a few glaringly ugly things on the pages.]

But they loved it! I am so relieved. All that hard work seems worthwhile, even rewarding. It's been a while since I felt a reason to take pride in my work.

Now let's see if the readers, and more importantly the advertisers, like it.
