Mark, They recently redid the interiors of the elevators here at our office building in Seattle. The old elevators had mirrors on the ceiling... the whole ceiling was one big mirror. I used to look forward to the elevator ride. I could look up in the air and see if my hair needed combing and could check the bald spot on the top of my head. I could even practice smiling (g). The mirror on the ceiling also made the elevator feel twice as big. And how many elevators have mirrors on the ceiling? Nice unique touch I thought. The new elevator interiors are installed and there are no mirrors... the mirror on the ceiling is gone. Now, the elevators get me to where I want to go and that is all.
