Back in the states, and I can ask my favorite...
I’m stuck at work until 7, then a work event from 7-9 to support the release of an author’s book. It should be fun, as there will be many NY socialites, media personnel, and fashionistas/fashion experts, despite the fact that it is Friday night.
This weekend I hope to finish Vanity Fair, which I started in Italy, and I’ll also be reading Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine...

I am saying farewell to Tumblr until the 27th of...
Although I’m not leaving the country for another 8 hours, I’m going to be fairly crazed with last minute packing, and then I’ll be at the airport three hours before my flight, without access (I need a BlackBerry!) - I have a long queue set up, however, so you’ll still see the occasional post. I’m taking Vanity Fair and my Kindle (filled with work manuscripts, yippee!)...
Of course it would be a volcanic eruption that...
Not snow, not airplane malfunction…keeping my fingers crossed I can fly out tonight.
