Oh, my! All I've been doing since I last posted is painting the house. The guest bathroom is now red, blazing red. It's the same color I will use in my office. According to feng shui, red is a very lucky color, and I think I'm due some good luck. Yesterday, however, I had a slight interruption (and bad luck): I discovered when the heavens opened up that my newly painted kitchen ceiling leaks. A brand new house, and a leaky ceiling. Just ask me about my builder in e-mail and I'll fill you in on who NOT to contract with in Tucson.

I need to start thinking about my talk for the Arizona Reading Association. It isn't until October, but it really is time consuming to put together a talk that works. And I'll need to collect some information for it. My proposal said I'd talk about biography. What burning questions do YOU have about biographies and the writing/researching of them? (E-mail ldb@brimner.com, subject line: "Bio Qs" so my spamanator doesn't discard it.)

Until next time...
