Simon's announcement on this annual event is always a kind of spring marker for me. And I think, Didn't that year rush by!

Congrats, Cathy on reading at Beyond Baroque. I've visited there with Charlotte and it is a fine venue. With a bookstore. Also used books. I am drooling just thinking about it.

Would love to hear you. Maybe someone will do a video or at least take photos. (Technology is wonderful when I'm on the receiving end.) Best of luck that you get a good audience.

Last bump, just in case...

Cathy--

Get in touch via PM if you'd like help seeing Tor House. The scheduled tours are F and Sat at 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and 3.

Janice--

One year you should come.

[Simon Hunt]

I lied. Last optimistic bump. If you warm-up the car right now, you could make it... PM me if you want the # for reservations.

[Bill Carpenter]

I'd really love to be there, Simon. I love that coast, the soft anemones, the stinky seals.

[Cally Conan-Davies]

Bill! The seals aren't 'stinky'!!!!! They are olfactorily opulent.

Oh Simon, I'd give ten worlds to be there tonight. If only it were in another two months - we'll be passing through. The Jeffers' Tor House tour with you was a highlight of my time in the US. I dearly want more time there.

Please know I'll be imagining you tonight, there in true spirit, and hope to see you again soon.

Is the forecast for a clear sky??

Enjoy the wonder of it all.

Cally
