Hey All!  My friend and local indy book store owner, Jonathan Sanchez, is on Jeopardy tonight (Monday March 22).   You can learn about the taping – without spoiling anything – at beingsanchez.com/news.  Jonathan owns Blue Bicycle Books in Charleston, but hails from Charlotte (he’s a Catholic High School grad, I think).  He and his wife, Lauren, are really great (and obviously tres smart), so tune in and cheer on a fellow Southerner!  Glad to know someone else is holding up nicely under the bright spotlights of national television…

Thankfully, Blake and I have come a long way since our karaoke-style home
video of  “You Be Illin’.”  Check out Blake’s new daily radio show, “Local
Edge Radio”
on 880 am with co-host Lesley Groetsch.

A much delayed photo of Katherine Snow Smith and me at the launch of her new magazine in   Tampa/St. Pete.  MommaZine features articles and news for the moms like us. LOVE the tagline “This is not your mother’s magazine.”  This brings me great relief as I furtively purchased a Good Housekeeping at the grocery store last week (and read it).  That is definitely my mother’s magazine, not good news.

Katherine is a friend and a relative – don’t you notice the stunning resemblance?  Check it out and share with your friends in Tampa and St. Pete. www.mommazine.com.  Also, there is a cute blogger who attended the book launch called Running Better.

Okay, so February is over, but March  is a great month for me to lament about half-birthdays.  In fact, EVERY month is a great month for me to lament about Half Birthdays and the Slippery Slope of the Good Life.  So I thought you might enjoy this article I wrote for Rene Timpone.
