Is now reporting from Iowa

Who wants to hang at the beach when you can trapse through a cornfield?


The homestead. See the lace curtains? Wait 'till you see the green hills. It's like exploring the old country without needing to cross an ocean.

Little Squirrel, Big City

My friend had a lot of meetings, so mostly I wandered around town taking in the sights. 

(see that behind me, that's the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, the real one, not the Vegas version)

After three days I decided New Yorkers are totally misrepresented by their surly reputations. I found them to be pretty much AWESOME.  Here's a few of my favorites: 

 

Sanjoy: Brilliant Financial Guru/Regular Good Guy

Jennifer:  Brilliant Editor Director/Most Genuine Person Ever

Alvina:  Brilliant Senior Editor/Best Lunch Meeting Resteraunt Picker EVER

and here's where Alvina took us:

(this is me with my full belly smiling down at all the people in Grand Central Station)

(there's many, many, more fabulous people I met on my trip, but I got so excited to be in the city I sorta forgot to document it... sorry!)

Finally it was time to go home.  Farewell great metropolis.

(sigh)

BTW, red eyes actually do make your eyes red.

Start spreading the news...

I'm leaving today...  A friend of mine is going to New York City and I'm totally excited, because she's letting me tag along.  Best thing is, she's in the children's lit buis.  I happen to be well on my way to becoming a minor celebrity (insert posative affirmations here)  And everyone knows that when you're a celebrity you get write kids books.  So I'm taking this as a research opportunity for the side career I'll someday have.




Here I am leaving LA




And here I am arriving in NYC
Cabby, get off the phone and watch the...oops.
