The Luck Holds

The last fair was long, real long (7 hours), but went well. Mellow. I was even able to make it to the Bombay Store afterwards, with a couple reps from DePaul, to do some last minute shopping. Once kicked out of the store we took a cab to Tendulkar's (owned by and named for the huge cricket star) for dinner. Also, during the fair, I was interviewed twice, once for print and once for national TV. Wow. Y'know - last trip out I was actually quoted in the Financial Times of London (that's like the European Wall Street Journal). I'm such the world-weary celebrity. After dinner we returned to the hotel and I packed up for the big flight. This is where I really lucked out - the big flight was perhaps only a third full. Everyone had their own section to spread out on and sleep. I also completed TWO crossword puzzles - NY Times and USA Today! I'm on a roll...
