Karen, what a great weekend for you and Paul! Of course, I know the highlight of the weekend was to get to have Laurie and Cheryl join you for dinner!!! :D
Scott and I are traveling to NYC in early August and I will finally get to meet my friend, K9 Karen, for the very first time! We are headed there to attend a benefit that will feature Stephen King (one of Scott's favorite authors), John Irving and JK Rowling. They will all 3 do readings from some of their unpublished works. We are so excited about it. I have another good friend, Carol, who I met long ago through the MSN Golden Retriever board, who will attend the reading with us that night. And I've never met her in person either!
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful experience.

Wow, what an exciting weekend. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall
at that gathering. :D I certainly do know who temple Grandin is and would
love to meet her in person some day. Oh, and does Dave Berry have a new
book out? I would also love to meet Duke in person.Maybe I could talk
him into revealing the famous recipe for Bush's beans. :D
Wow Karen, sounds like you had a great time all around. :)Quote:

Don't forget to watch Stephen King's Desperation on ABC tonight at 8. :)
Wow! I agree, what an exciting weekend! ^____^

Karen, what an envious weekend. I am thrilled that you got to meet all of the authors and I hope your bruises go away soon.
It sounds like a great weekend.
