It's getting close to curtain time...

Haircut?  Check.

Plaques packed and ready for transport? Check.

Last-minute changes to the script?  Check.

Last minute photos for the Power Point presentation sent to Eric? Check!

Tux ready to pick up?  Check.

Munchies and bottles of water in the gym bag? Check.

Car gassed and ready to go (it was almost on empty)? Check.

I'm ready - and that's the only thing in my ability to control at this point. So after lunch, I'll be on my way to The Berman Center for the Performing Arts to co-host The 2015 Wilde Awards!

Will I see you there?
