Smithers! Houston! And Beyond!

JUNE 15, 2005 BY SUSAN J

Thanks to Mr. Monkman at Smithers Senior Secondary, whose wife, awesomely enough, is a former Miss Smithers, for hosting me at my alma mater/scene of many an academic disgrace. Thanks to everyone who came to the readings in Smithers and Houston. I had a great time. Apologies to the reporter from the Interior News whom I accidentally stood up. While we were supposed to be having an interview, my brother Scott and I were driving around looking for someplace to nap until dinner time. Oops. That’s how you know you’re starting to lose it on tour. We ended up parked in a gravel pit reading our books for two hours. Once a small town gravel pit aficionado, always a… Most intriguing were all the thrashed Camaros and old pick up trucks that pulled in, saw us, and peeled out at top speed. I’m guessing they weren’t going to the gravel pit to read their novels. No sir.

If you get a chance check out a new TV show on Friday night. It’s a half hour comedy called Robson Arms set in Vancouver’s West End. It’s airing on CTV at 10:00 on the 17th. I’ve heard it’s fantastic and not to be missed…

Okay, I’m probably going to be offline until Sunday because my laptop wireless connection is still a complete mystery to me. If you live in Terrace, Rupert or Kitimat, I hope to see you this weekend!
