Zen Crib Notes

 I’m at Gatwick Airport eating slightly overpriced pancakes (with a really nice pot of vanilla cream) waiting for the gate to be assigned for my flight. I’ll be landing at New York JFK airport in about early Tuesday morning, and hopefully going to make it to my hotel before the afternoon heat gets me. The weather forecast also predicts the rest of the week to have continuous rain. Springtime was a mistake. 

Looking forward to Book Expo starting Wednesday! There’s lots of panels featuring authors, genre publishers, indie publishers, and innovators there, more so than in London Book Fair, and I’m hoping to make the most of it by networking and doing some research for my dissertation. I also haven’t been in New York City since 2001, which was my only time there, so I’ll be using Tuesday to explore a bit and grab some souvenirs from some historic establishments. And some tacky baseball caps for my colleagues.
