It's rainy right now, although I can see where the weather is breaking and the sky is blue. Sadly, it's pretty far away from here, but at least there's hope for sun and clear sky.
Another busy week at the store coming up. Wednesday night we've got six great first-time young adult authors coming to the store to talk about writing, publishing and working together. Friday, T.A. Barron is visiting Charlotte Central School and will be signing books at the bookfair when the visit is done. What a treat for the fifth- and sixth-graders to have Tom spend some time with them. On Saturday morning, Susan Bartlett will read her new picture book, Opening Day, which presents both sides of the hunting argument in a very clear, non-judgmental way. And, the art is amazing.
I lost power last night at 4:30am. I have a burglar alarm, which came with the house, that pretty much goes off every time there's a power loss. Why? Why does this thing (that wasn't even on) have to beep incessantly until I punch in the security code? Why do I need to be alerted to the power loss? Either I'm awake and can see the sudden darkness, or I'm sleeping and will discover it when I need a light. So now, it's 4:30 am and the alarm is beeping, which can be pretty terrifying in the middle of the night because it sounds a bit like the burglar alarm has gone off, which means someone is trying to break into the house, which is a pretty scary thought. The dogs are barking and now have to go out. In the rain! All in all, not my favorite way to wake up.
I'm hoping the sun makes it here before I go to work.
