A lot going on

I was in Cayman this week for work. I thought the hurricane was coming the first day...


But it cleared up enough to go for a run on the beach. Afterwards I sat on a lounge chair and looked at the stars. A semi-cloudy night in Cayman is still better for star-gazing than a clear night in NYC.


My co-workers are unimpressed by giant lizards lurking near the office, btw, but I had to take a picture.


I was visiting the Cayman and UK offices to signal the end of my all-consuming project of the past six months: launching our new office and studio in NYC. I was in charge of everything from finding the space to negotiating the lease to choosing the decor...





It turned out great, and I was able to bask in the glory for about 24 hours. Then--new projects. A year at a startup is like five years at a large company. 

On the book front, Three Grumpy Trucks is off to a good start. How to Become a Knight is finally appearing face-out at some B&Ns. Ten Tiny Toes board book (released in March) is still plugging along. Three books in a year; can't complain about that.



Most important, I'm back home in NYC. Jo and I had dinner in Little Italy and talked wedding plans.


We will be married at the Turtle Pond in Central Park. These are our body doubles, for context...


Our reception will be here, at Nomad Rooftop...


There's a lot going on. I hope I don't drive Jo crazy.
