While this is really good news for us, it also has a down side as you'll see in this post. It's led to some pretty odd working conditions. Sometimes deadlines and vacations and life clash. This is a post about how we work around that issue. Backseat painting on a road trip. Working on a postcard at Starbucks. Not sure how much work she's able to get done lately! More ...

Simply Messing About: ALA San Francisco 2015

http://www.simplymessingabout.com/2015/07/ala-san-francisco-2015.html

Luckily, one of the first people I ran into were Debbie Ohi. Photo by Debbie Ohi. I finally got to meet Dan Santat's wife, Leah. When it comes out!
