My youngest daughter entered some of her art work from her commercial arts class into the Addy's (advertising awards) competition. Tonight there was a gallery showing of all of the work entered into the competition (from high school kids to professionals) at a gallery downtown.

With minimal prep to myself I was able to go there, be around a bunch of people (LOUD people!) I didn't know and in a place I had never been before. And I was able to get through the show in fairly good shape. My only 'moment' was when we went into an small room off of the main gallery full of people at a buffet. My brain said 'uh-huh' to going in and I listened and walked out.

But I'm pretty proud of myself that I was able to do something that not too long ago was a complete no-go for me. Plus I got to see something special that my daughter is involved in. All in all, a good evening.
