Jeff--Saturday
Yes, whenever a conference comes up, and one--[notice this subtle attempt to hide behind an anonymous pronoun substitute]--has failed to post a blog in advance of events getting underway, the bees to honey draw of we solitary writers seeing so many friends and colleagues in one place inevitably leads one to wondering where all the time once thought available for writing one's blog vanished, thereby forcing one to fall back on posting photos, and long, guilt ridden run-on
mea culpa sentences.
In this instance it's even more shameful, for I took so very few photos that I had to beg she-who-yee-all-know for shots from her stash. As always, she came though Thank you BZ.
Well, without further ado...and so that I might get to the panel I'm supposed to moderate...here are photos of our trip up from Seattle, stopping overnight in La Conner, Washington before ending up in Vancouver, British Columbia. You can tell how much fun we're having by how few photos are of the events. Too busy to focus...so to speak.

The conference is and continues to be a blast. Now on to my 6-week book tour. Hope to see you along the trail.
