I had a great deal of fun at the book club meeting in NYC, and since it was held down the street from the Magnolia Bakery, I bought cupcakes afterwards, since they happened to still be open, and not very crowded at that late hour.

It was lovely to have a midweek vacation. I left dayjob at lunchtime on Wednesday and got back home around dinnertime on Thursday. I slept late on Thursday, reveling in the quiet privacy of my hotel room (loud air conditioner!), and then got some good revisions done on my manuscript before I had lunch with a friend.

More revisions this weekend. It's due next Thursday. Looks like the publication date will be May, 2012.
