So disappointed about that, but time did so fly. I hope you're both in NOLA next year, and I'll catch you there. <br /><br />Lucy, the Key West tour is a brilliant idea! I've been loudly hinting at Debs for a London tour of her books, which I'm thinking could be combined with a tour by Susan of the WWII spots. Then, Hank could do a Boston tour, and Julia could do an Adirondacks tour, and Rhys could do a New York to London to Wales tour, and Hallie could take us coast to coast with Hollywood and New York. Yes, I see a whole new literary tour business in the works. Now, if you all had clones for the time factor.
