A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win a gift certificate from my favorite wine store, for dinner for two at Charleston, which is arguably Baltimore's best restaurant. The gift certificate is for Chef Cindy Wolf's tasting menu, which looks to be positively decadent. So, what better use for a gift certificate than to celebrate a new job?
After a week of sweltering heat, today is gorgeous and cooler, so this evening should be lovely. I invited my friend John to join me. John has provided an absolute bedrock of support and encouragement throughout the job interview process, including providing a wonderful reference on my behalf, keeping my confidence, and as a colleague and dear friend, completely understands what this opportunity means for me.
