It would be so fun to see you and all the cool LOTR stuff in your house, and I miss Mexican/Tejana/TexMex food like wow and oh, my word (here, where people pickle all the spice out of their jalapeños and think food from Spain is "close enough" to Mexican food...argh.)!<br /><br />I see I need to write a book wherein Texas features prominently! :)tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-22097740645100995312010-08-01T22:58:50.360-07:002010-08-01T22:58:50.360-07:00It has been so much fun to read all the ALA accoun...It has been so much fun to read all the ALA accounts. When you are invited to the Texas Library Assoc. convention, I will assign myself as your majordomo, aide-de-camp, what ever. You may stay at our house. No cool telephone booths but we do have a room filled with LOTR standups, a tapestry flag of Middle Earth and the flag of Rohan hangs in the entry. I have a piano for Bach too! You will be feted and honored and may eat all the real guacamole the Great State of Texas has to offer.BookMoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269890583666523293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-36500692951354278222010-07-21T20:27:39.823-07:002010-07-21T20:27:39.823-07:00My, my, my, but I miss you.

You made me laugh at the part where you temporarily sent Miss Robin and Miss Carolyn into shock. <br /><br />Thanks for allowing us to enjoy ALA through your eyes without us having to endure the Washington, D.C. weather. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to your next pass through Seattle, whenever that may be.

I've noticed we seem to be amassing a small collection of photos of book vending machines...<br /><br />You're right that there does seem to be a huge "Vermont connection"--but hey, we're about to create a Mills connection of our own, eh? And occasionally I meet someone like Laini Taylor and get reminded that there's a Berkeley connection, too.
