Jo here, feeling grumpy. I don't have a Charlie pic, so here's a wattly bird of some sort who maybe suits my mood. As Pat said, Typepad wasn't kind last night. The rest of this is what I wrote last night.
I don't know what Typepad is doing, but it took forever to sign on. My main grouch is against the Marriott Wardman Park hotel for not having wi-fi in the rooms! Bad enough that they make guests pay for it, but to require cable connect is very irritating. I travel with a Mac Air, which has limited ports and I didn't bring the various cables because in over a year, and in many countries, I've never needed them. I expect wi-fi, people. I don't see why it can't be free, too. Cheaper places often have free wi-fi, so why not the pricey places. It's ridiculous.
Then there's the fact that pressing the button for housekeeping gets an answering machine, and no one ever responds to left messages.
As I said, I'm grouchy. So, apologies for the snarking.
But things are also good. We had a fun (but noisy) signing.
If anyone reading this was at the literary signing, how did it go? Share some of your experiences.
If anyone reading this is at the conference, have you learned anything wonderful yet? It doesn't get up to full steam until Friday.
I'll try to pop back in and share some goodies myself.
Then the Wenches decompressed with wine and cheese. Then me taking a pic.
Best in grouchdom... Oh, dear, now I know. I should have brought Charlie with me. He'd have kept everything sweet.
Sorry for the delay and messy layout, but I am happy this all worked today
Jo :)
