2 Ok, back from book signing at the Waldenbooks at Northgate Mall in San Rafael. Very well organized. The raffle was inspired. Am taking son and sister to see Narnia in a bit, so for now, only short bits of reality for the blog.

Last night, well, this morning, I guess, I woke up about 2am and opened my eyes to the sky seen through my sliding glass door. It was crystal clear and very very dark. The stars looked impossibly bright and close enough to reach out and take a few just to have in my pocket. I dozed for a bit with stories on my mind.

There are downsides to where I am right now, but a view of stars in the sky makes up for a lot.
