The Joy of Meeting an Old Friend

In 2007, I saw a boy of about 11 years old exiting the library with the latest and last of the Harry Potter books. He was grinning ear to ear and hugging the book to his chest. I imagined his anticipation - waiting until he reached home, finding a comfortable spot to open the book to discover the latest adventures awaiting a character that he had grown to know and love.

As an adult I still feel that anticipation of meeting an old friend - a new season of Mad Men with a divorced Don Draper; a new Sookie Stackhouse book (will she ever get back with Vampire Bill?); or the latest Ladies #1 Detective Agency. As a grown up, and CEO, I try for a little decorum when a new book or season of my favourite series arrives,  but inside ---- I'm grinning ear to ear!
