Ok, so I actually got 2nd place in the company dance contest at our recent holiday party (a good 2 months before Christmas??). Anyhoo, they gave me $300 for my troubles (I sealed the deal by 'threading the needle'). First place took lessons, which I consider cheating. Anyhoo, I'm going to buy a new leather briefcase as my wife is really getting annoyed with my current choice: a blue nylon bag I've had since grad school. Soooo, I'm thinking of the Saddleback Leather Thin Briefcase in chocolate brown. Any other options or opinions?
