I\’m here!

I\’m at Sallie Blumenauer\’s house being snortled at by her gorgeous little Boston terrier Sophy, using her laptop after some exceedingly nice carrot cake (don\’t you know I\’m a recovering cakeoholic?) We\’ll be off tomorrow doing the East Coast bit of the tour Sallie\’s been organizing. I\’ll be signing books tomorrow at Barnes & Noble in Williamsburg. Do I ever get writer\’s block? Yes, whenever somebody asks me to dedicate a book, my mind goes blank and I can\’t think of anything to write. It\’s very embarassing. I envy the brother of a friend of mine who\’s a cartoonist and just does a really quick sketch so he doesn\’t have to think of anything witty to say.
