Even in your posts you deliver, not just your books. From your e-mail when you said you were glad to be back, I could never have imagined *this* eventful of a trip. Ahem. How do these things happen to you? Remember that other warehouse signing trip? Oy! Elizbo, you made me cringe, laugh out loud, and at the end gave me misty eyes.

Having spent many early mornings with a room of librarians, I am thrilled to hear that was one of the upsides to your trip, A gathering of people who love books (and authors!) can make even the worst travel disasters fade away:) You have a brilliant sense of humor!

In regards to the car rental thing, I feel you. I once had my car in the shop and my loaner vehicle had an overly strong smell of something...I just couldn't pin point it -- it smelled like vanilla but not. Please note that vanilla scents make me light headed and sometimes nauseous, especially in strong doses. Driving around to go back to the shop to finish some paperwork, I finally sniffed it out as vanilla and cigarette smoke. I immediately turn the car around to complain - they give me problems, but finally give me a new rental. Okay, that comment just made it even funnier.
