Convention Notes
I signed the tall stack of books in a dash and along the way met many pleasant booksellers. Afterward, I joined four of them (and a fellow book-signer) for some Italian. Good food, great time. The next day I picked up some books — and engaged in interesting conversations about some of them. I met more people, saw some familiar faces, and along the way came up with an idea that may prove useful. I admit that there was a part of me that didn’t want to give up the time. I had had a commitment every night the previous two weeks and was looking for a break. But I’m so glad I went and so grateful I had the chance. Thanks, MBA.
