Many thanks to everyone who commented with nice things about the almost-finished draft of my YA novel, Flotsam. I spent the last two days going through it, doing the meatball surgery that will get it to the Army hospital in Tokyo. Now, it goes off to the Blue Heaven workshop in June. I think I'm going to give my brain a day or two to rest, and then I start work on a proposal for my next book. But right now, I drink beer.

Why am I wearing a hat, you ask? I think the better question is, why aren't you?

Actually, I think the question is why are you drinking a beer and we aren't. To which I have no good answer.

I must've missed the post you mentioned. Big congrats on getting a draft of the novel done!

/cheer.

I bow to your amazing connective tissue/meatball surgery skills. I need more percolation time between drafts, even 1a's.

Mmm, beer.

That calls for a dinner at Stone Brewery, I think.

The Hat Council recommends you wear your hat at least three times a day. This message paid for by The Hat Council.

Hey, I think I have that hat! Is that the Columbia one with the mesh around the crown?

I shall put mine on. We can be partners in hat-wearing.

It may well be the same hat. The exact model is the Bora Bora Booney.

I should very much like to be partners in hat-wearing!

All is not lost! I had an overpriced coffee drink an hour ago. If I'd know we were hat twins, I'd have taken a picture of it!

I did look drunk in the first picture I took. That's almost like having a beer!

conHATulations!
I couldn't figure out if the background behind you was some kind of latticed wall or, as I first thought, tiled floor. I like to think it's floor, and this picture is taken of you lying flat on your back with the beer vertically poking out of your face.

Flat on my back with a beer sticking out of me, you called it right.

I don't own a hat, I don't want to own a hat, and if I ever did own a hat I'd lose it inside of three days anyway. So send cash in lieu of hats.

So, when do you think you'll be able to present it to a 5th grader and not have him treat you in a condescending fashion?

Yay! Hooray for you wearing a hat! And for drinking a beer. And what else? Oh yeah, and for finishing *another* novel! You rock!

Really, though, I'm just pleased as can be that so many are wearing hats! Hats ahoy!

Few do a hat as much justice as you, dear.
