Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an unexpected twist, and now it is time for you to post until the unexpected cows come home - they're currently doing the Twist.

Last night was my first night out after dark since BK was in town shooting Sami. I don't like being out after dark on that walker for several reasons: my night vision's not that good, I worry about being mugged, and I'm a creature of habit and I like to be in bed with the cats and TV by 6:00.

So, last night at 5:00 I met my friends Rob Berman, Joshie, Jeremy Clayton, Michael Gildin, Adam Beskind, John Bell, Jason Buell, and Mario Sotero for a birthday celebration at a fantastic Mexican restaurant at 9th Avenue and 53rd Street.

Getting there was hell. I booked Access-a-Ride for 4:15, thinking that even if the car were 30 minutes late, I would be there by 5:00. So, at 4:00 I got a texr from AAR saying the ride would arrive in 11 minutes. I locked the apartment and went downstairs to wait. At 4:30 I called AAR, who told me they had cancelled that ride and were looking for a vehicle to pick me up. At 4:45 a sweet young lady in 206 West 82 volunteered to run to the corner and hail a taxi for me. The taxi pulled up, I got into it, and the phone rang. It was an AAR driver, now 35 minutes late who called to tell me he would be there in five minutes.

I told him the moment had passed, got to the restaurant by 5:05 and had a womderful evening. The AAR ride back was perfect with a young very kind driver who waited in the car while I safely got into my building. I had two margaritas so I was rather tipsy when I got home. I gave the cats theyr nightly treat and went ro bed.

Jeremy Clayton sent me some finished illustrations for Annabelle & Thatch. I cannot resist showing them. There are Annabelle's best friends, Oyster and Pebble, a gay couple of pigeos:

DR Jeanne is right. In the author's note at the end of the current book (which I just finished last night), Richard Osman says that there will be future Thursday Murder Club books, but that he's going to write something else first.
