4PM: phone interview for oregonlive.com
Then George and I have a fabulous early dinner at the restaurant atop the Tattered Cover bookstore. I�m so high from the good news about the List I eat without thinking about the talk and signing to come.

The Tattered Cover is one of the world�s great independent bookstores. They�ve always made book browsers comfortable and book lovers of all ages welcome. If you get to Denver don�t miss the chance to visit and shop for books.

There�s a crowd of about 150 for tonight�s event. It couldn�t go better.

Highlights:

� A young woman who buys five copies of Summer Sisters, one for each of her bridesmaids (even though the wedding is a year away).
� A woman who went to summer camp with Randy.
� Another, who shows me her 20 year old signed copy of Wifey and an equally old story from People Magazine. (This gets a whole group laughing!)
� A handsome man I recognize right away. We had a sweet flirtation in New Mexico more than 20 years ago. But for the life of me I can�t remember his name.
� Melanie, the bellman�s girlfriend.
� Two women who buy six copies for their reading group. They want to talk about a summer book for their summer session. I ask them to please e-mail me and let me know how it goes.

� A group of girls - cousins - ranging in age from 9-12.
� And the emotional moments with those who stop to tell me something about reading my books when they were young.

A couple of hours later Lisa drops us back at our hotel and I fall into bed while George checks his e-mail.
