Eleven Days or Thereabouts

Dear Diary

right. When last heard of I was putting on fancy clothes to go to the Newbery Caldecott Alcott Awards Dinner, and receive the Newbery Medal.

I wrote the speech back in April, and recorded it then, so that it could be given out to people at ALA as a CD and printed in The Hornbook. Then I didn't look at it again, figuring that way it would be new and interesting to me when I got to it at ALA.

This did nothing to decrease my nervousness; neither did wearing a suit.

Stephen Welch First, my condolences to Charlie Brown's family and friends.

Second, again congrats on the Newbery Award.

I would have loved to see the tarot comedy troupe. That really sounded like fun. Did it get taped? It would would be cool to see or at least see the transcript for it.
