New York�TV Satellite Tour
In two hours I do twelve interviews, each one lasting from one to five minutes. We reach markets in:

* Philadelphia
* Raleigh-Durham
* Louisville
* Memphis
* Dallas
* Kansas City
* Nashville
* Cleveland
* Tampa
* Jacksonville
* Houston

The only problem is you�re talking to a TV camera and you have to remember who you�re talking with and whether or not you�ve already said �it� during that interview. A makeup person powders your face in the minute break between interviews and you have just enough time to swig some water before you begin again. Still, there�s a lot less stress and exhaustion at the end of the day. And you haven�t had to haul your luggage through airports.

Lunch with fifteen of the hard working staff at Dell/Delacorte. My chance to say thanks to publisher Carole Baron and to Tracy Devine, who have believed in Summer Sisters from the start. I get the good news that they�ve gone back to press again!

A Night Out: George and I join friends for dinner. A taste of the real world. I tell myself if I can make it through the next four weeks there�ll be plenty of real world waiting. We stay up too late. Tomorrow morning I have to get up and prepare for my talk at Marymount College. On Wednesday I�ll be back on the road, this time for more than two weeks.
