HELLLOOOO!!! Ah yes, it has been awhile, hasn't it?? Well, first things first, I do have to share with you a link to a segment that aired on the ABC Nightly News last night. It is about a banker who helped a mama duck get her little ducklings down from a ledge and out to the nearby pond. This story absolutely warmed my heart, and I hope that it does yours too!
Here's the link:

Let's see...I had the wonderful opportunity to have dinner with Lan Samantha Chang who is the director of the famous (or infamous, whichever way you choose to look at it!) Iowa Writer's Workshop. She spoke at the Theatre Cedar Rapids-Lindale as a part of our Out Loud Author Series. She was an engaging speaker and a delightful dinner guest! Be sure to mark your calanders: mystery writer extraordinaire Lawrence Block is our next author to visit for the series. He will be here on Thursday, May 21st at 7pm.
On a personal note...I am moving *again*. This time it will be into a house with one of my close friends and her lovely German Shepherd. So if I'm complaining of back pain or that I can't move, it's because of that.
That's all I've got for now!
