Yes I think you definitely should take it as a compliment . They do draw you in Ken, it wasn't a quick look thing I like them. " Thankfully hardly anyone showed up ," now you sound like me. I don't enjoy doing that opening thing . I don't mind having the work there but hate having to be there.

I was in a cafe the other morning waiting on my tea, talking to the baristas. I said something about being a grumpy old man. Both of them -- very young women -- laughed and got animated and said, "We feel like grumpy old men all the time." It was endearing. 
I'm not sure why I'm telling this story except that it's connected somehow to not wanting to be at our own openings.
