Now we are all spread out. That's the way families are these days. I am not starting any non-review books for quite a while, but the sale was too good for What to Say Next and I loved the other three books I read from Buxbaum.

My daughter was always too far away when she was at school for weekly visits. I saw her twice during grad school, but I will probably see her more now, because she travels for her job. Fingers crossed she gets some assignments on the east coast.

Once my daughter got the apartment when she was an undergrad and ditched the HS boyfriend, she didn't come home as much, but Syracuse was only a few hours away. I only saw her twice last year, while she did her graduate degree, so I hope to see her more this year.
