I'm at the Charleston, SC

2/28/10 -- I'm at the Charleston, SC airport. Spent the weekend at a family reunion. Really fun to reconnect with everyone, and squeeze in a nice hike in the low country woods -- Spanish moss and palmetto trees, so different than my Northwest forests of Douglas fir and vine maples. Tomorrow I speak at South Shades Crest School in Hoover, Alabama. I'm looking forward to meeting all those budding young authors!
