A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Today my best friend from college and her girlfriend came into the city. It was really, really good to see them; and since it was so beautiful out, I didn't want to spend the day inside. While we were out getting bagels, A suggested that we go to the Statue of Liberty; and even though today was the first warm Saturday we'd had in a long time, and even though I knew things would be crowded, I agreed to go.

After I sent e-mail thank yous to the people who interviewed me yesterday. There are five agents in the office, and I met four of them during my two meetings. At first, I didn't quite catch the name of one of the agents, but sent an e-mail to the person I thought might be her. Thankfully, it was! So I am still waiting to hear back from the agency and will let you know what the outcome is. We have new neighbors downstairs, who moved in over the weekend.
