Hanging in the balance

This time last week, I was downtown amid Superbowl XL. I wasn't the only one-- the entire firm took a trip down to see Detroit in rare, spectacular form. Last thursday, Tom sent out an e-mail saying he thought it would be a good idea to celebrate Eisbrenner's great start to the new year and check it all out. We headed out of here mid-morning, and took the shuttle from the zoo downtown.
We had lunch at Tom's Oyster Bar on Jefferson, all 21 of us, and then made our way through new Detroit. There were the ESPN and NFL experience shows at the RenCen, football players, limos and metro cars and preperation for all of the parties not to mention exhibits.
While reading this, you might take it at face value, and that's fine. However our friday fieldtrip spoke volumes about how important it is to work hard and not forget to enjoy life. Even while at work. How cool is that?
There continues to be this back and forth on what it did or didn't do for the city of Detroit, people held their breath in anticipation of what the rest of the world has to say about the city, but the only thing I can really gauge is what it did for me. Isn't that what matters anyway?
