One year down

Today was the one year anniversary of Claire's first day on the job at ZAIA. It's been a great year. She's seen a lot of changes happen on the show. A lot of people have come and gone. Acts have been redesigned. Parts of the theater have been rebuilt. Along with Claire's anniversary have come some of the biggest changes to happen in our little paradise. We are getting ready to move into a new apartment. It's going to be a great new home, but the reason for the move is a sad one. Our very good friend, Larry, is the current resident and owner of the flat and he's moving back home to Melbourne. We're going to miss him a lot. He's a great friend and hopefully not too often an extraordinary tour guide and Macau Savant. The other huge change is that Colleen, Claire's partner in crime (read -> wigs) is leaving as well. Colleen will be headed back to the States, back to she and Claire's hometown, Cincinnati. I know Colleen and Claire have formed a friendship that will last a lifetime. It will be sad to see her go. Not only are we losing a friend, Claire a coworker and confidant, and ZAIA an unshakable seer of the bright side, but now in her place will be no one. Claire faces a new challenge of running her own Wig Shop. Once again she is CEO (chuckle). So here's to change. May those going out into the world find fun and fulfillment and may we moving into a new residence find it warm and welcoming.
