Radio silence

So I'm back in my hotel room blogging from the iPhone -- not the easiest process! 🙂 tomorrow is a crazy day of travel, so I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to blog at all. So I won't be getting the weekly grocery deals up -- sorry, but things will start settling back to normal soon. Meanwhile, I visited the coolest little used bookstore today -- I think it was called the old Monterey book company, but the one thing I didn't photograph was the sign. Isn't it amazing?

There, I picked up this guide for authors from 1949 -- amazing how things change. It was marked $2 but she gave it to me for free when I told her I'm an editor.

I won't type much more with one finger here, but though I talk a lot here about saving money at big chains there is also a lot to be said for patronizing independent stores (and sometimes what we save in one place allows us to do so in another). Much as I love my b&n and amazon, there's an experience here that just can't be replicated by the big guys.

So there's my conference philosophizing, and I'll leave you with some photos.
