this was a good week

This was a good week!  Here's why:

•  The lavender Marcus bought for Easter is still alive, our lot where our house once stood is clear, and today I get to give a keynote at the Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop (if you're here, please tap me on the shoulder and say hi!).  Good week all round.

•  Speaking of travel, this collection of hotel do-not-disturb signs is impressive.

•  I keep going back to read these lovely thoughts from my friend Angela.

•  It's been 30 years since Steel Magnolias was released.  This story of how it came to be is so interesting.

•  These are pencils.  What?

•  Will Farrell and Joel McHale do not get the modern art in this museum.  (Confession:  I'm not sure I do, either.)

•  This young man has autism.  He can also draw any cityscape from detailed memory.  Incredible.

With that, have a wonderful weekend, friends.  See you next week.
