It's been a very busy summer for my wife
Robin and me.  Robin got a fantastic job at
a school in San Antonio, so after spending
all of our lives in the Midwest, we are now
in South Texas.  Y'all. 

Moving is not one of life's great pleasures, so
I'm glad we're finally here and settling in--and
that our furniture finally came.  Texans are
very hospitable people, though, so we're
already feeling at home.


"Hola" from the Alamo city.

Before we left St. Louis, I had the chance to
attend one final book club for MTI.  The lovely
and charming Lyn Castellano hosted the event.
Lyn had made a generous donation to a St. Louis
charity (Angel's Arms) at a silent auction, and the
"prize" was a few copies of MTI.  Lyn threw her
doors open to me and several of her friends and
we had a fantastic evening.  Plenty of laughter.
(And boy, did the ladies come down hard on Mitch.)
I felt sorry for the poor guy.)

Thanks so much, Lyn!


My final St. Louis book club couldn't have been better.  Lyn is seated on sofa, holding her dog.
