It was a beautiful 70 something degrees and sunny here in Austin. I enjoyed lunch with Greg and Anne Bustard (author of Buddy: The Story of Buddy Holly (Simon & Schuster, 2005)) at Guero’s to celebrate her sale of “Do-Si-Fido” to Ladybug; then Anne and I did some shopping on South Congress and she picked up a birthday present for a friend at Mi Casa (one of my fave stores!).

Tonight Greg and I had sashimi at Kyoto and then wandered up Congress to the Paramount Theatre to enjoy “A Tuna Christmas.”

In other news, it was a treat to receive a holiday card from HarperCollins (Laura Geringer has the nicest handwriting), and I’m greatly thankful Alex Sanchez is safe in Thailand.
