Ah, the day after.  That blissful feeling of joy, of complete and utter contentment, where nothing else matters because everything has gone so well and so right. There are always the pre- and post-event duties, the planning, the organization, the last-minute tweaks and late-night trips to art supply stores, but it's all worth it.

I'm talking, of course, about great parties and get-togethers.  Author talks.  Opening receptions.
