Briefly looking up from page to enlist your help & tour schedule
Loooong day yesterday, loooonger day ahead today so I can turn in some overdue work. I had to bow out of my writer’s group meeting today to get everything done and that has me very cranky and peevish. Sidebar. Peevish. Has a good ring to it. Could almost be a faux-curse word, don’t you think? [...]

Final ALAN pics, thoughts & NYC observations
