...it was two in the morning. But I had a great time out there. Love that store! Fun gig, with F. Paul Wilson. Lots of his fans there, and I always like to do a gig with someone whose readers are a different crowd from mine, because new readers discover each writer. He's a really smart guy, too, fun to talk to. Before the gig, went to the Desert Botanical Garden with my buddy Patti O'Brien, and the next morning, before my plane, had time for a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum with another buddy, Jim Sallis. Plane was a little late taking off, bouncy in the air, and had to circle before landing. All in all, didn't get home until nearly 2:00 am. So today was a bit of a waste. But tomorrow, back to work.
