   Congrats on the release of your first novel. Asian fantasy. Very unique. At least, I think so, but I don’t follow fantasy.

    I gave some thought to packing up the kids and making the 1.5-hr trek up there, but I was too sick (and wouldn’t want to get you guys sick, either). I hope we’ll make it next time. P.S. I love the book so far, some brilliant descriptions and translation of cultural nuances, and I’m sure more to come (I’m on Chapter 10). Where is that amazing slide located? Happy Anniversary!

    I love those slides!!! Are they the Sanchez ones? How did your kids get down without cardboard help?

    LOL! That is a great alien :D. He’s like a zombie-alien hybrid. Zombien, maybe?
