Portland last night, heading to Seattle to sign at Elliott Bay Books in Seattle tomorrow afternoon, and then Palmer on Monday afternoon, and home in my own bed Tuesday night. Minotaur has always been good about keeping the plane a day thing to a week. Yay, them, and yay, you, for showing up and cheering me along. It makes a huge difference in my energy level.

Want a free Friends of Mutt sticker? Thought so. Click here, fill out the form, and don’t worry about changing your Facebook profile picture, or even if you’re on Facebook. Laura’s going to send you a sticker anyway. This is the sticker:
I want one. Laura sent some to each of the bookstores and we’ve been handing them out and they’re really neat. If Mutt had her own car, she’d definitely put one on her bumper.
I don’t get broadcast or cable or satellite television at home, so it’s always an education to turn on the television in a hotel room. I see Whitney Houston died. I also see that CNN seems unable to talk about anything else, except for Jeremy Lin. Sheri, my Portland author escort, had to explain who he was, but this happened in the elevator on the way down:
I got in. The next floor a bunch of middle-aged, portly white guys with male pattern balding got it. And then the next floor this very tall, very elegantly dressed young black man got in. One of the white guys looked way up there and said, “Good luck tonight.” The young man said thanks. And then the middle-aged guy said, “Yeah, I’ve bet my house on the game.” And of course I said, “No pressure,” and everybody laughed. Come to find out, the Clippers were in town for a game with the Trailblazers and were staying at my hotel.
I thought basketball players would be beefier, somehow, but they all looked like male models.
Anybody know if the middle-aged guy still has his house? Also, Sheri tells me Jeremy Lin used to play for the Clippers, before he was traded approximately ninety-two times and wound up in New York.
I have really enjoyed the Farmer’s insurance commercials, especially the one where the Mercury capsule crashes through the roof of the music box and the guy says, “Random space debris falling through the sky? We cover that.” And then the chimp in the parachute comes floating down. I searched for the video but it doesn’t appear to be on You Tube, dammit.
Every time I see that Farmer’s commercial I think of Breakup — though the commercial is quite funny on its own.
It sure is, and yes, a lot worse things could have come through the roof of Kate’s cabin. But not many.
i found it!

PS ~ Hope you liked the cookies ♥ as much as I enjoyed making them.
Thank you, Jeanne! You’re a better googler than I am.
I went to the Farmer’s website link. Had a good time! Thanks Jeanne!

Looking everywhere and couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment for you (besides joining Twitter or Facebook or other sites which I don’t want to do!) Don’t know if this will work but I’ll try. Just finished “Restless in the Grave” and it was wonderful! ( I’ve bought and read all your books.) Did find one boo-boo! You said McGuire ordered “all dark meat” when he ordered chicken at the bar. Then on the next page you say he points a “wing” at Kate. Wings are white meat!
Wish I could meet you at one of your book signings but we’re out in West Texas and are never near enough. Will keep buying and reading, though!
You say white meat, I say dark meat…(laughing) Glad you enjoyed it otherwise, and thanks for writing. As you can see, this is the way to get in touch with me.
