On the Road: Virtual Book Tour Stop #2 : Booboolina.com
The Virtual Book Tour for Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers stopped in Mountain View, California today at the website of Kristin Garrity. Tomorrow’s destination is The Rogue Librarian in New York City.
I’d like to finish the book this week. I’ve been a little hesitant to really get into it since my mom’s death wasn’t long ago and I’m still dealing with all of that. I think I really understimated what that would be like to go through. I guess you can’t really know until it happens.
I brought home my mom and grandmother’s recipe boxes when I was back in Nebraska for the funeral in March. Sometime this summer I’d like to invite a few pals over for a Nebraska Dinner Party. My grandmother’s recipe box is at least 50 years old. Spam casserole anyone? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on that, too. I noticed a couple months ago that Runza will even ship you their frozen sandwiches.

Good food, good drinks and a good cause: Rock & Roll Library Summer Cocktail Reception
The Rock & Roll Library, a nonprofit based in Boston, is hosting a summer cocktail reception at 33 Restaurant in Boston’s Back Bay on Saturday, July 26th from 7-9pm. I’ve been volunteering for RRL since January and I’m really looking forward to this party. Shannon and I attended a BBQ at 33 Restaurant last month and checked out the private lounge downstairs where RRL’s event will be taking place. It’s a very cool space. The restaurant is a short walk from the Back Bay T Station around the corner from the Hard Rock Cafe. Tickets are $40 and include complimentary hors d’oeurves and cocktails. See you there?
