Jeanine helps Maya with her hair as she readies herself for a Model United Nations Conference being held at Bentley College today. I assisted by knotting one of my ties for her very business-like outfit. I would have never predicted that Maya would put my tie collection to better use than I. As I mature, I find myself almost religiously opposed to wearing a suit. I’ll take a pair of comfortable hiking boots and soft cotton clothes any day.

Nala, the master of relaxation, set the tone for my day. Having completed a week of back to back 12-16 hour days in the office I needed to just kick back and relax. I expect another week or two of intense work before my schedule returns to a more normal pace.
