Suzy Staubach and the kind team at the UConn Co-op put on a fun launch for Prized last night, and I was touched that so many of my friends came, including one from college I haven’t seen in years.  She and her daughter came all the way from Rhode Island to surprise me.  Madness!

The local high school had their concert rescheduled to last night due to the power outages last week, which accounted for a shortage of singers in the audience.  Nevertheless, it was a special night for my family and me.  I especially appreciated the thoughtful questions and the no-nonsense advice about the mic.  It’s nice when you can count on people to speak up frankly.

Thanks to Suzy for her generosity.  Thanks to my friends for coming by.  I don’t know a luckier writer in a nicer community.
