Comments on: My Book Launch Party http://danabrand.com/blog/2007/09/25/pictures-from-my-book-launch-party/ The blog that goes with metsfanbook.com Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:37:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Mets Fan Blog » Blog Archive » In the Booth http://danabrand.com/blog/2007/09/25/pictures-from-my-book-launch-party/#comment-35423 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:04:27 +0000 http://danabrand.com/blog/2007/09/25/pictures-from-my-book-launch-party/#comment-35423 [...] I met Lynn, and her son Zach, and Zoe Rice, one of the bloggers I recommended, whom I had met before at my book launch party, in a seat by the window of the real Diamond Club, not the imaginary one.  I had a terrific dinner and a fine time.  Lynn is really something else.  I’d never met her except in e-mails and yet I felt immediately as if I’d known her for a long time.  We have similar backgrounds and many of the ideas and perspectives associated with those backgrounds.  We live somewhat similar lives in the same area of Connecticut, with adolescent children going through a lot of the same bullshit (Zach reminded me a lot of my daughter’s nicer male friends).  We have the same favorite movie theatre and fifties-style diner.  The biggest difference seemed to be that her husband has this incredibly demanding job which required him to be away from home a lot, leaving her with the bulk of the eternal work of the Connecticut parent (driving, being in specific places at specific times to watch specific things).  My wife has a less demanding schedule and we get to go places and do stuff.  Lynn and Gary have to squeeze their vacation into the All-Star break.  [...] […] I met Lynn, and her son Zach, and Zoe Rice, one of the bloggers I recommended, whom I had met before at my book launch party, in a seat by the window of the real Diamond Club, not the imaginary one.  I had a terrific dinner and a fine time.  Lynn is really something else.  I’d never met her except in e-mails and yet I felt immediately as if I’d known her for a long time.  We have similar backgrounds and many of the ideas and perspectives associated with those backgrounds.  We live somewhat similar lives in the same area of Connecticut, with adolescent children going through a lot of the same bullshit (Zach reminded me a lot of my daughter’s nicer male friends).  We have the same favorite movie theatre and fifties-style diner.  The biggest difference seemed to be that her husband has this incredibly demanding job which required him to be away from home a lot, leaving her with the bulk of the eternal work of the Connecticut parent (driving, being in specific places at specific times to watch specific things).  My wife has a less demanding schedule and we get to go places and do stuff.  Lynn and Gary have to squeeze their vacation into the All-Star break.  […]
