Pink,

I share this dilemma. I have considered making a CD (of my relaxation tape) also but decided not to for the same reasons.

I have never given him anything but my deepest heartfelt thoughts?

Gee what a cornball I am.

Why don't you ask him first? Like, "I have a friend at my internship and her client offered to make her a CD of favorite recordings and she doesn't know whether to accept or not."

LOL-- he'll never suspect the ruse.
