I am in my room writing and eating a pomegranate listening to a late thunderstorm blow up in the darkness behind the soft white curtains. It had been grumbling for an hour but now it is starting to talk. It feels like a dangerous blessing.
Very soon I will be going by my book launch. I feel almost as I did waiting for my own wedding to start. Happy and eager and scared.
It went splendidly! A nice circle of (I think) 20 people and a warm, relaxed mood. Clearly, everybody enjoyed it.
Maybe you should engage a bagpiper for a launch! I'm sure this time he would show up!
I heard Montreal went well!!! I'm so sad I couldn't have made it up there. If you are down in New England at all, I'll be there in a heartbeat!
