If she were still alive, my mother Addie would have turned 89 yesterday. Usually, on her birthday and on my late brother's birthday, I choose foods I know they'd love and do something I know each of them would have enjoyed. I would rather celebrate their lives than focus on their deaths. If there is any awareness after life, I like to think they are enjoying things vicariously. If there is no awareness, I am at least remembering them and having fun doing it.
Nearly a year ago, the Pierson Library in Shelburne, Vermont planned to have me do a book talk. Unfortunately, my contact there broke her hip and was laid up for quite a while. In the meantime, the library has welcomed a new director. I am very pleased to be able to announce that Carol is doing much better and has done me the honor of inviting me to "kick off" a new "Armchair Traveler" series on February 11th. Go to my "Talk Schedule" page for the details. I hope to see some of you there.
