Sooooooooooooooooooo tired.
Sep. 17th, 2006 11:44 pmBut as David Letterman would say, it's a good kinda tired. Pretty much didn't stop running all weekend but had lots of fun.
Best part of yesterday -- going to a panel discussion that included an author whose work I have long admired, BUT I have long been bugged by an odd plot twist in one of his novels. Why did he do it? I never understood why!
So, yesterday, during the panel discussion. he read a passage from the book that has been bugging me. What are the odds he'd decide to read from that book, since it isn't his newest, most famous or best-received book? I got the feeling that he and I were the only people in the room who were familiar with it!
Anyway, I went up to him after the panel & asked about the odd plot twist. Glory be, he graciously took five minutes, answered my question, told me that it is his favorite of the novels he's written (mine too) and actually thanked me for reading the book. Whatta guy!
Best part of today -- seeing a male belly dancer perform. Oh, man ... ! :)
