Yikes! Good thing she had a phone.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

This just in...
due to the extremely nasty weather Kate's Mystery Books in Cambridge has decided to postpone its annual holiday party. The party will instead take place next Friday, Dec. 16, with something like 30 authors signing between 5:30 and 8 p.m.
FAQ wife tells me Deb is at Kate's now signing a pile of books, since she obviously won't be able attend the event next week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, that's so disappointing!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sorry for the attendees next week that won't get to see Deb too. Blah. Stupid snow.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

No substitute for a brain, which I appear to be completely lacking the minute the snow starts falling.
Seriously, it was too funny. I was standing out there in an ankle-high snowdrift, and there was a man on a similar second floor balcony up the street, except that his doors hadn't been briskly pulled closed and locked behind him. He looked at me, and offered up a tentative wave; I waved back, and had visions of standing there like some sort of surreal tacky lawn sculpture, snow settling gently on me, birds nesting in my hair, showing up in the spring thaw...
In other words? Deb hereby nominates herself for Doofus of the Year. And Jon is a major mensch. Had me off the roof in minutes.
Had a splendid time at Kates, weirdly enough; Got to talk to DX on the phone, and a few other writers who hadn't got the cancellation email showed up (John Sedgewick, for one), and some customers who'd driven in; I had a splendid industry gossip session with Kate and she kept the store open until Vortex showed up. We went to Frank's for surf and turf; very nice food.
So what's the plan for during the day tomorrow?

LOVE Frank's. I miss it but I had to stop going there because they kept overcooking my steaks. There are just some things I cannot forgive a steakhouse for! But, yum.

Jon, is the Sville parking ban lifted? Would there be places to park the car? (we have a resident sticker still) Or should we take the train?

Nora, I had prime rib (which I should avoid due to chewing/crown related issues but can never resist), and it was a bit underdone. Vortex had a petit filet mignon in tarragon butter, and I believe she said hers was perfect.
Just emailed Val - hopefully getting together a bit later, because I really want to see her.

There are cars parked on both sides of the street right now, so the ban must be lifted. Parking may be tricky due to the piles of snow, but if you still have your sticker it shouldn't be too bad. Maybe. I dunno...
