Kidlit Drink Night – Magazine Fun

Mark Tuchman took this side shot of us as we posed for this month’s SLJ cover. It’s particularly appropriate since Cheryl Klein and I, pictured here, are hosting a Kidlit Drink Night this week in honor of that issue. Our next get-together will be Thursday, November 12, at the Globe Bar on 23rd St. between Lexington and 3rd Ave., starting about 6 p.m. Please come if you can. I’ll be a little late, but there around 7:15. And if you would like to be on our mailing list, email us at nyckidlitdrinks@gmail.com.
See you then!

Why Ms. Bird,
I opened my PW this week and there you are – quoted in the Forward on Page 3. Seems you are everywhere these days.
Yes. I apologize for that. I think I shall cloister myself in a cave for a bit after this month. Though, knowing my lunch, I’ll just end up mentioned in Hermits Monthly or something.
