It has happened at last! Nearly 3 months after beginning my practice, the show came off today. I can scarcely say without a hitch, because I did drop 2 or 3 times, including once, disastrously, when all 3 balls went down and I had to go chasing across the floor to retrieve them. But my wife informed me that at one point a 6 year-old girl turned to her with a look of wonder in her face and breathed:
"Is beautiful!"
And you know what? That's good enough for me. Plus the wife said it was fine. And she doesn't do bullshit.
Later we celebrated with a bottle of champagne brought over specially for the occasion, and even though it was consumed in the cheapest of plastic cups, it was sweet indeed.
