In Lieu of Blogging . . .
I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of my two favorite sins, Sloth and Pride.
Which is to say, I cannot blog today because last night I spent my evening at the SCBWI Cocktail Party and the Kidlit Drink Night in the company of the nefarious personalities of . . .
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
And Peter Brown (pictured here with Melanie Hope Greenberg) of the upcoming The Purple Kangaroo.
And many others. Thanks to everyone who came out. Good show, folks!

Don’t forget intemperance …
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.
