Orange Idea Week Dots Pop Up Around Dallas, Ctd.

I can now tell you more about those orange dots, as one of them popped up in front or our building, making my journalism-style reporting most effortless indeed. I can also tell you the following:

As we were walking back into work, our building’s security guard stopped us to talk about the woman he’d caught on surveillance video besmirching the sidewalk with orange chalk earlier in the day. He had a theory about who it was. Given how brazenly she’d parked in the underground garage and sauntered through the lobby on the way to her vile act, he figured it was none other than Christine Allison, the president of our company. He got the first name right. But the last name was Rogers.

So now I’m in Dutch with the security guy, who went into great detail about how he thought the orange dot and the “noon” next to it meant that either a protest was about to happen or someone was announcing their intentions to blow up the building. As far-fetched as I thought the latter was, all I would say was “I’m so sorry. She also frequently leaves the garage door open at our house.”

My wife and I don’t talk a whole lot about our jobs at home. Mostly, that’s because my wife and I don’t talk a whole lot. Our normal conversations go something like this:

Me: “You close the garage door?”

Her: “No.”

Anyway, she’s in PR and marketing. I’m in “journalism.” So we generally keep it to ourselves. And when I heard her this morning talking on the phone to a cohort about sidewalk chalk, I gathered that it had something to do with her involvement with Idea Week, but I didn’t ask any questions. Then, just a bit ago, I saw several photos like the one you see here on her Twitter feed. Something, apparently, is happening at noon at several orange dots around town.

You now know as much as I do. The garage door is open.
