I feel positively C. Dale Young-esque! I’m sneaking off to California for a few days with G to relax – and possibly check out some neighborhoods for rentals…and I’m even taking Virgin America Airlines! He is such a good advertisement for them. Plus, the tickets were super cheap.
Yes, I think I need a break from backhoes, rain, and temperatures below 50 degrees for a few days…I’m packing skirts and sandals, which I haven’t been able to wear in the Seattle area yet.
Anyway, you guys be good til I get back!

J–
The L.A. Times Book Fesitval happens at UCLA this weekend. Maybe you know this. Marvin and D. St J and many others will present. Pretty much a mob/zoo scene, but kinda fun.
Let me know what you think of my funky town…

You are going to LURVE Virgin America. LOVE IT! It is fantastic. And to do it up CDY style in LA, make sure you have a asian pear mojito instead of lunch one of the days you are there. Who needs extra calories when you’ve got a mojito?!
C. Dale
Before long, you will be jetting off to Vegas!

I’m assuming that you will be a bit far from us but if you venture down the coast and hit L.A….. you know who to call! The weather is pretty great here. =)

Dear Michelle and Gretchen,
Flying into San Fran and then driving down the coast a bit to Silicon Valley and Montery, not as far as LA this time – but I’m planning to visit in October (maybe we can hook up a reading, Michelle?)
C. Dale – I will order an asian pear mojito just for you! Vegas could be around the corner…it is sunny there…I’m prepared to become a Virgin convert!

Jeanine, I’d love to. Will start knocking on some doors. Let me know specific dates when you got ’em –M
