I arrived at our designated meeting point ahead of schedule, on a cold and blustery day. Loitering cost me a coffee: $2. Add a winter scarf for another $20. Gum: $2. Parking: $20. Lunch itself: $20. Post-lunch coffee: $2. Total cost of outing: $66.
Fix the wobbly heel on the dress boots soon, and park a bit further away next time, in a free spot on the street. Worry less about coffee and gum. On the bright side, a recent referral I made to this client/friend might pay out a $500 referral bonus. Too soon to tell.
