Best birthday invitation ever...

Fellow author Patricia Wood emailed me with an invitation I couldn't turn down. You see, Pat's also attending the Hawaii Writers Retreat/Conference (she and her husband live on a boat in the Honolulu harbor) and her husband, whose birthday is in early September, adores jazz singer Norah Jones as much as I do.

(I always listen to the album Feels Like Home when I'm writing -- click on this link and I've no doubt you'll recognize Norah's work, too.) Anyhow... Pat and Gordon have (gasp) invited me to help celebrate Gordon's birthday by going to the concert with them. Thanks, guys. This will make Hawaii equal parts work and play!
