Tacoma or Bust

Hi All. I'm just adding an update too. Jamie and I are flying to Tacoma on Wednesday, as are Colin, Monica, and Tate. Jamie and Colin are on the same panel giving papers at the Western Literature Conference there, so that will be quite an event for us. Caitlin will be coming up from Olympia--only a half-hour away, so that will get us all together. While we're there, Colin and Monica will be celebrating their 4th anniversary, so we get to babysit for Tate! We are all going to an Iris DeMent concert too, so we are looking forward to that, and Jamie and I are going to a dinner where poet Tess Gallagher will be doing a reading--probably from her recent book Dear Ghosts, which I have enjoyed after being introduced to it by Garrison Keillor's Writers' Almanac on Public Radio. We hope to hear more from everyone--all of us too busy and stressed out at the same time for some reason--maybe it's the stars. Love, Sally
