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.

doesn't take much

This afternoon I went to Starbucks. I don't go often because they're spendy and they've monopolized the coffee business and most of the time I just want black coffee. Part of our Thanksgiving tradition, though, is going to Mom's Target and Starbucks on Black Friday. This year we made it to Target but not to Starbucks, nor did we make it to Starbucks on Saturday, as we said we would on the way to the Deer Valley Goodwill. I have a gift card smoldering in my pocket so today, after buying spray paint and water marbles at JoAnn, I pulled up to the drive-thru at Starbucks. Usually I get some kind of blended iced vanilla chai thing. At the orderboard I was distracted by all the holiday drinks and opted for a white chocolate peppermint mocha, grande. One thing I will say for Starbucks: the employees are always uber-friendly. After ordering from the chirpy counterperson I pulled forward slightly, plugged in my ipod, and started a game of solitaire while listening to the White S...
