Ready to Get My Pink Game On Next Fall, as StoryFest Announces Another Spectacular Author.

I had the honor and privilege of spending yesterday afternoon at the Westport Library getting excited about 2020 StoryFest with author Victoria Kann. Her Pinkalicious books are central to shows on PBS and a national treasure for children across the United States (and world). The writer will be with us next September at The Westport Public Library where we will be sure to have a golden pink carpet to greet her. Yesterday was  was the Fairfield County Day of Giving and the goal was to raise money for our Education Day which will be hosted on Friday. On Saturday, Neil Gaiman speaks. I can't wait.

I just have a few presentations, a National Writing Project conference in the Bronx to implement, and CWP summer programs before all energy goes to StoryFest.

Speaking of, I finally saw Shaun Mitchell and was able to give him his celebratory present for his new job in Hartford. Um, that's like 8 months ago. Central to CWP-Fairfield for so many years (Central...ha, a double entendre there), he took on leadership in another district and has been too busy to swing by to pick it up. William, Jessica, Edem, Sean and I went to dinner. The gift is now with him, but it should be for his engagement, as well, rather than his new job. The Mitch is getting hitched.

It's all flying too fast.

And the winds. Okay, I'm complaining and know it could be worse. I could live in Oswego. The winds picked up and it was cold (boo hoo. No snow. No right to complain. Just wind chill).

Okay, Friday, you've arrived. Hoping for a productive day followed by an evening of possibilities. Here's to the weekend.
