A Bit of a Throwback: Calkins Day 2018: A Few Photos
I'm posting this in anticipation of WriteOn Joliet's open mic event this week in honor of Calkins Day (an explanation is here),
This means, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., members and guests are invited to share funny, whimsical, non-serious, or playful writings at the Book and Bean Cafe, 3395 Black Road in Joliet.
Two years ago, we held a signing and reception for this book (limited copies still available, get yours on Thursday).
Scroll through and enjoy! Hope to see you Thursday. :)
Calkins Day 2018: A Few Photos
In case you missed it (and even if you didn't), here are a few photos from the Calkins Day Book Signing (Feb. 13) at Book and Bean Cafe in Joliet.
Nos. five (ruthless pose), six (ruthlessly glancing at MOMI's coffee), and seven (composing a ruthless limerick) are especially noteworthy.

What Happened to Bertrand...
...on Calkins Day?
Because he was suspiciously absent.
Well, not really. But here's what happened.
As soon we pulled up to Book and Bean, I realized I'd made a horrible mistake. I had forgotten Bertrand. He was at home in my lunch box.
My son Timothy, ever gallant, offered to drive back to fetch him. I did not ask Timothy to do this. Again, I did not ask him to do this. Just so we're clear on this point.
But I was happy he offered. How horrible if Bertrand had missed his chance for a photo with the real Steward of Tara!
Fifteen minutes later Timothy calls. He can't find Bertrand. So I check my coat pockets. Ooops! I had moved Bertrand earlier. I had him. Sorry. :(
When the festivities had ended, and we had returned home, I realized I hadn't taken Bertrand's photo with the steward.
Now some might say I had forgotten all about it. But I say this.
Bertrand was so afraid of the ruthless dictator, he hid in my coat pocket all night. See? Here's the proof.
And this is the last bit of posting I'll eek out from Calkins Day.
Enjoy the day readers, writers, and vampire fans! :)
