Sketch is of me, by Maria.

Maria and I went out to dinner last night, met a dear old friend and we sat up late catching up. Meant a lot to me. We walked by the Chilean embassy and joined the all-night party they were throwing on the street to celebrate the rescued miners. Stopped into a couple of bookstores to look in on “Rose” but they were sold out. Good thing, I guess. Washington looks pretty to me, and thriving. Iphones, cell phones, laptops everywhere.

The best thing about book tour is room service. Had a nice room service breakfast. Getting picked up at 1 0 a.m. to go meet Rita Mae Brown and then do a radio interview, then spend an hour with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about “Rose” and the way dogs think. More interviews, then off to Virginia for the signing with Rita Mae Brown. Then tomorrow home then Friday, the Crandall Public Library, Glens Falls, N.Y., 7 p.m. Saturday, Clifton Park (the Halfmoon Library, 2 p.m.) Then we take Izzy and head for Ohio and Kentucky. Sunday, 3 p.m. Book Loft, Columbus, Ohio, German Village. Need Excedrin, throat lozenges and bandaids for blisters on my feet. Can’t wait to get some fresh photos of the tour today. Will post where and when I can, using the Ipad or the laptop.
