Tucson Festival of Books

This weekend the first annual Tucson Festival of Books was held on the U of A Mall. We went on Sunday. Apparently much of Tucson did too: the AZ Daily Star estimates attendance at 30K! Next year I'll plan better, so I can attend lectures by some of the featured authors. This year I would have enjoyed J.A. Jance and Diana Gabaldon. As it went, though, we just hung out for a few hours and had a great time.


At the TMC booth you could spin the wheel to win valuable prizes. Evan won a set of ABC magnets.


Jack won a car eraser and a pencil.


Two years ago Brazey was born at TMC, and here he is a TMC princess turtle (just like Junie B!).


Brazey met a real celebrity. Jack's a skeptic, however. Jack said, "I can see his head."


Evan got a cool animal book.


Good things come in threes: my writing buddies and me (Molly, me, Charlie).


My treasured triumvirate.

Sounds like a good time. I googled the authors. I wonder if I'd like The Outlander series.

Congratulations, Rosemary Myers! If Miyazaki had made Napoleon Dynamite and set it in Disco Australia it couldn't have been better than your movie.

back to nature

It's been a long time since I hiked, alone or with friends. My bestie from childhood, Ana, has begun exploring trails around Tucson. Today I joined her for a 6 mile hike starting at the Richard Genser Starr Pass trailhead in Tucson Mountain Park. I plan to join her for as many Sunday mornings as I can manage. We've been friends since second grade. That's three decades plus. I'm totally rockin' the Brett Michaels vibe. Those must be Ana's favorite ratty shorts. She's had them forever. Our hiking companion, Chel, who Ana knows from high school. saguaros and chollas, oh my
