Back to O-Town

Sitting on the sidewalk in front of Grand Central station in New York city, waiting for the bus to La Guardia airport. My big news is that I broke my 2 year caffeine embargo this morning by having a cup of masala chai to quell my hangover migraine. (Actually, I had a swig of coke back in Uganda, too, but what happens in Uganda stays in Uganda.)

The migraine was the result of a great night of post-conference excesses at a cheesy Broadway pub… that, combined with an 8:am meeting this morning to strategize funding a documentary film about our tsunami relief project in Sri Lanka. Watch this space for more on this topic as it develops.

I adore the SAJA events. I always return home energized and inspired as both a fiction writer and freelance journalist. We’ll see how long this motivation lasts!
