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.

Okay, I’m slightly envious. Maybe more than slightly! I’m a DC fan. I have the book but haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
And yes, sometimes it’s very fun to be led astray G.
You’re envious of me? I’m insanely jealous of JC! I had to go home, SHE got to go to the bar with the boys! Go read her blog to get in on the fun.
