Stick a fork in this year's Nbpt Lit Fest, it's done

Saturday was the 7th annual Newburyport Literary Festival.  Jennie was all-festival all-day.  Not a minute of her day, from the time she got up at 6:00am to the moment she went to bed at 1:00am, was occupied with anything but festival.

Jennifer spent the night holding court to authors and their type.  She was a celebrity in her own right only out-celebritied by Andre Dubus and Bill "Spaceman" Lee.  

The party at Andre's is always a good time.  Interesting group of people.  The host grabbed his mini cigars and scotch and declared "Let's smoke!".  We followed like first graders on a field trip.  I loved  watching Denise spark up.  She's a natural.  I expect her to take time off from the next NPPS to come out on the porch to smoke with me.

The Fenway Park event drew a good crowd, mostly to see Bill Lee.  Included in the pews of the Old South Church were Mom, Stacey, Didi and me.  Bill Lee was great, rambling on about teammates and foes who pissed him off, never quite answering the moderators questions but entertaining us nonetheless. 

Jennie's worker bee for the day.
