Well, good morning to you too!

I'm at Bouchercon with 3000 other rabid mystery fans, and pretty much not thinking about anything other than books, booze, and trying to find out who decided Albany was a good location for a conference.

This morning I had a couple extra minutes before my first breakfast meeting (early breakfast meeting, breakfast meeting, brunch meeting--rack 'em and stack 'em!)

I thought I'd check in on the outside world to see what was going on.

Here's what I found when I googled the New York Times


Turns out quite a few things changed while I've been away!

    OMG. Unbelievable.

    Do you think my pet rabbit counts as a farm animal?

    Hey, I just had a thought, too bad sharks aren't farm animals, Janet could supplement her income and come up with a great memoir. At least she could say she made the front page of the NYT.

    Because in Albany you can focus on the books, the writers, agents, and the stories. It's a test run to see if Bouchercon can go to Amarillo or Fargo.

    Dear Ms Reid

    I'd always suspected something along these lines. Oui, oui, oui, all the way home.

    And my college students always crab about why I won't let them use Wikipedia as a source. Thanks for the fun example.

    I vote for Amarillo!

    And the Wikipedia edit squad strikes again. I will be cleaning my monitor now, thank you very much.

    I had to read that twice because I hadn't had enough coffee.

    I'm sure even the NY Times employees would laugh at that!

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
