And what are you doing on this fine, fine holiday weekend?

On the last day of Quilt Market, I was sleepy and not a little overwhelmed. After Melissa's last booksigning, on Sunday, we had nothing but time to kill until Quilt Market was over and it was time to catch our flight back home to Cape Cod.

The lovely Melissa Averinos is responsible for setting us up in the most amazing bed & breakfast possible here in Minneapolis. It's just an unassuming three-story house in a leafy neighborhood in what is apparently known as Lowry Hill East. But once you step inside... well, a series of gasps is really the only appropriate response.

I'm at Quilt Market Spring 2010 here in Minneapolis, and I've only just this evening been able to gather enough breath (and wifi) to blog about it.

I graduated from grad school yesterday, and was officially granted all the rights and privileges, as they say, of the degree of the Master of Business Administration. It was a glorious day, all bright blue sky and golden sparkling water on the Boston waterfront.

I took a little break from BronteAlong these last few days because a book I had preordered a long time ago suddenly arrived on my doorstep -- and I had to devour it immediately.

So it appears that I will be attending Quilt Market 2010 in just Two Short Weeks! Melissa's book is launching officially at Quilt Market, she'll be signing books and giving talks and being generally amazing in every way.

I've always been of the firm belief that a blog just isn't a blog unless you've got comments enabled. Without comments, it's just a website that sort of vaguely, structurally resembles a blog.

BronteAlong has now officially moved on to a focus on Wuthering Heights, after weeks and weeks of wallowing recklessly in everything Jane Eyre. As promised, we won't be necessarily leaving Jane and Edward F. Rochester behind... just adding Cathy and Heathcliff to the mix.

I've always driven Hondas -- literally since my very first car. My Dad was kind enough to give me his old Honda Civic hatchback shortly after I graduated from college in 1993, and ever since then I have been a loyal Hondaist. And now I am in the market for another one.
