Weekend Decisions and Outcomes

Making thoughtful decisions about how to spend your precious weekend time often involves negotiating between domestic obligations and spontaneous leisure desires. Last Friday evening, after an exhausting forty-hour working week at my architectural design firm, my original plan was to remain quietly at home, catch up on laundry, cook a simple dinner, and rest.
