Rattlers, Cacti & Stale Wine, Oh My!
filed under: Ramblings

2007-10-HipGraphic.gifComing to you from sunny AZ, where I've just wrapped a TV segment and am literally running out the door to a signing put on by Phoenix's Changing Hands book store, Publishers Weekly's 2007 Bookseller of the Year! I love this very cute graphic they made to promote tonight's event. Nice! Also, I was amused to see several southwest stereotypes in full swing at my earlier TV interview, where just before I went on air to talk about Thanksgiving wines they had a gal with a petrified rattlesnake followed by an older gentleman showing his collection of pottery and paintings of the southwest landscape. I mean, how do you not love that?!

So far the only drawback to AZ is that my room service lunch came with a glass of stale wine. It will always smack of inappropriate to pull a "do you know who I am??", but have to admit that at that moment it crossed my mind. Have traveled too far to drink bad wine!! Still, I'm having fun.

More later, and thanks for checking in.
