This past
week I went to a couple of places I anticipated would be crowded because of the
holiday season, but they weren't. Other
people there suggested, in both cases, that it was because people were staying
home--if they could--thanks to the fires that aren't far away.
One was a
popular local restaurant we went to with some friends, including a couple from
out of town. It's a restaurant where
there's a pianist, and the wait staff bursts into song now and then,
accompanied by the piano. Fortunately,
despite fewer patrons like us, the entertainment remained as wonderful as
always.
And then
there was the Glendale Reads Author Festival at the Glendale Library last
Saturday that I've mentioned here. There
were quite a few authors, including some who were interviewed on a stage near
the signing area. But not a lot of
library patrons or others showed up to hear the speakers or meet the rest of
us. Fun, yes, but mostly because of the
other authors I talked with.
More things
are going on that should keep me busy--including my writing--but the end of
some is in sight.
Meanwhile,
I'll keep on going!

It is surprising both places weren't as crowded as you expected. The restaurant sounds very festive.
