Ticked Off-

I added my own entry to the "Ticked Off" section this morning. Saturday morning after I hosted the "Best of Show," I went down our center elevator and got stuck! That is one of my biggest fears is being stuck in an elevator. Thank goodness it was only for about 10-15 seconds, then the doors opened. That triggered the phone calls of people that had been stuck, one for 30 minutes! Have you ever been stuck in a tight, enclosed space? And if so, where and for how long?
