Sometimes It's Fun To Get Led Astray

It’s after 1 a.m. and I just dragged in. I had another blog started but it’s out the window now. :)

Tonight I went to a book signing. No, not my own…I drove 2-1/2 hours and spent another 3 hours standing in line to meet Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand, captains of the FV Time Bandit. “Deadliest Catch” fans will know exactly who I’m talking about.

I wasn’t planning on going. I mean, I wanted to, but it was a haul, my son had to be at a school function and gas is pushing 4 bucks a gallon. But J.C. Wilder kept gloating about how she was going to be there, and why don’t I drop everything and come with? Come on, you know you want to…it’s just this one time…pleeeeeease?

I went. I can never withstand the power of J.C.‘s pout. And I admit I never pass up a chance to watch this show whenever it’s on. There’s just something primally attactive about men who risk death every day to make their living.

Worth it! We had a blast talking to, oh, about 300 other rabid DC fans. I can’t remember when I saw that many people in one place, all smiling. That’s something special.

I joked with J.C. that I’d need to hang a slab of bacon around my neck to get that many people willing to have their pictures taken with me. :) Both men were unfailingly gracious although they must have still been signing books past midnight. They were even inviting people to join them at the bar later.

I hope my editor’s not reading this, because I’m supposed to be finishing a manuscript. Hee! I’m sure she’ll forgive me just this once.

G’night! I’m off to bed a happy, happy gal. Despite the fact my photo turned out blurry.

Big thanks to J.C. for leading me astray. Again.
