In Lieu of Blogging . . .
I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of my two favorite sins, Sloth and Pride.

Lee Wind of We’re Here, We’re Queer, What the Hell Do I Read?
Dan Yaccarino of the upcoming picture book Lawn to Lawn
Meghan McCarthy (she’s shy) of the upcoming Pop: The Invention of Bubble Gum

Hmmm. Minor sin. Didn’t even crack the top seven.
And I wasn’t even drinking!
You should have a – guess what I’m drinking – contest.
Hmmm. Hard to say. What I do know is that you appear to be 8 feet tall. Don’t ever tell anyone else otherwise.
Oooh, sounds like it was fun. Sorry I missed it. Next time?
SO glad to see you! Hope you don’t fall on any eco-ice today. xoxoxo
too much fun (looks fantastic)
Great seeing you for a moment! Though I never saw you again.

I know! Where did you go? I never saw you in the cocktail party room. Maybe one brief glimpse but then you were gone.
