Another Opening

Another Show

The buzz around the office a little louder.

The talk of dresses, shoes, and other accoutrements of the trade.

The paper work appears a little more important.

The problems and accomplishments of the week melt in anticipation of the main event.

Plans for parties are made.

And every time, I am surprised when I walk downstairs, and see the sea of people that have shown up for the festivities.

Who are all these people?

And every time, it takes me a minute to realize that all we have poured into these few brief hours is going to be lain bare before 1000 sets of eyes and minds.

Careers are elevated.

Careers are tarnished.

And we are off and running.

Happy opening.
