a good tongue wag

Yesterday I phoned some of the people I plan to visit while in Manitoba. Usually when I hang up I am caught with the overwhelming feeling that there are too many miles separating us. However, this time when I hung up I realized that in sixteen days I will conquer those miles. That soon I will sit across the table with a teacup full of herb tea and chat with them face to face. How soon can I start packing? : )

Last night I watched the entire video - two hours - of my book launch. And I realized that , although I exposed a roomful of people to it, I really can't sing or dance. Oh, well, no one ran for the door so I guess they forgave me.
