Back from the signing and then a meal. Not one person I knew showed up - how lovely was that? But despite that, we sold more books than I would have thought possible, I met some nice folks, and the best was this mom and her 19-year old daughter, who've been calling the store all week to make sure I was there. The girl is an aspiring writer who's taking creative writing in college and wanted to interview me. So I did that for the first forty minutes and it was really fun and we laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more we laughed again. My favorite thing was when mom wanted a photo of us together - I kept my arms stiffly at my side and then said, "In today's world this is how you have to take a photo." She then put her arm around my waist and I hers, we took the photo, and then I told her, "Now, go on Facebook and say hashtag me, too. It was really quite amusing.

TOD:

the casts of HELLO DOLLY and GROUNDHOG DAY on Broadway

the performance of my gifted friend Lew and his wonderful co-stars in MORNING'S AT SEVEN off-Broadway

On TV, the lovely performance of Meghan Markle in the series SUITS must be noted, since she'll be leaving the series soon (to become British royalty)

On video, I watched SCROOGE again, a fun tradition, so renewed cheers for our own TCB's fabulous title performance

While I saw DEAR EVAN HANSEN in 2016, so many people think of it as a 2017 show, so renewed hurrahs and bravos for Ben Platt, our neighbor Rachel Bay Jones and the rest of this glorious cast, in this very risky show where all the artistic risks paid off.

Thank you very much, Fred. That is very nice of you to say.
