New spaces

Spent my first time working in my wife's downtown office space in Amherst. A nice space - pleasant, cozy, easy to concentrate in. I've done a lot of this over the years; for many years, when she worked in the communications office at Mount Holyoke College (as I also did on a freelance basis for a number of years), I spent many, many winter and early spring months in there on weekends so that I could work on a large white-paper project I did for many years without having to be distracted by other humans. Much the same tonight -- I was doing some freelance editing for a client of Doreen's on a book project and knocked off 2.5 undistracted hours without much problem. I just have to remember to take some instrumental music in with me next time I go there -- she doesn't have any! Amherst neighbors should drop by and check her space out sometime -- it's where the Men's Resource Center used to be, directly across from the Loose Goose.

Also found out she has a nice hardwood floor. My back is a little tight from a bit too much time on the treadmill last night (3 miles at a good pace) and not quite enough stretching afterward. Live and learn. So I laid on the floor for a while, which helped some.
