Laughed till my sides ached. I also met his beautiful wife and darling daughters along with his hottie mom and charming father. Looks seems to be the theme in their family. <BR/>By the way that picture isn't that good of him--he is much better in person! If you get the chance go hear him speak it is so worth it.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538322276733389421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-87212210937267952762006-11-07T11:25:00.000-05:002006-11-07T11:25:00.000-05:00That's my boy!!

Not only is he a hottie, he's super nice! He illustrated my picture book THE IMPOSSIBLE PATRIOTISM PROJECT which comes out June '07 by DIAL. Instead of "illustrator" my husband calls him my "drawer guy" so I nicknamed him Drawer McDreamy. Or Hottie Mc Drawer... or several other variations. I've talked to him on the phone and he was extremely sweet. He's also happily married and has 4 daughters. And his dog's name is Lickerish... But I digress. Glad to see others think he's hot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1153026694423965052006-07-16T01:11:00.000-04:002006-07-16T01:11:00.000-04:00Yeah. His name has come up in the past. Unfortun...Yeah. His name has come up in the past. Unfortunately I found "Stormbreaker" incredibly racist, so he's been disqualified. Sorry, guys. I mean, seriously. An Egyptian boy is raised by white British parents and then is bent on destroying all the children in England? Can you get anymore "us" and "them" than that? <BR/><BR/>Sorry sorry. I'm ranting. But he just makes me so MAD! I don't think the movie's gonna improve my disposition any either (partly cause the trailer just looked so damn cool... Alicia Silverstone notwithstanding).fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1152911274064106642006-07-14T17:07:00.000-04:002006-07-14T17:07:00.000-04:00Thought of you when I saw this post on the Read Al...Thought of you when I saw <A HREF="http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/services/education/youthlit/readalert/index.php/2006/07/14/anthony-horowitz-masterclass/" REL="nofollow">this post</A> on the Read Alert blog.

Perhaps you could have plied them with the lure of Teen Central, Winnie-the-Pooh or Gumby. <BR/><BR/>My library is mentioned in "From the Mixed Up Files"? Really? Shoot. Now I've gotta flip through my copy again.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1152731595405545522006-07-12T15:13:00.000-04:002006-07-12T15:13:00.000-04:00I was in Hoboken Sunday night and the horn-honking...I was in Hoboken Sunday night and the horn-honking from the Italy fans was LOUD! We could hear it even from the back tables of the restaurant.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to try to come by the library while we were in NYC on Monday but it didn't happen. I'm not sure how they interpreted this: "Kids, do you want to go to introduce ourselves to a librarian who has a really great blog?" as this: "Kids, do you want to stalk this poor woman whom I've never actually met?" but they did, and the embarrassment factor was just too keen.<BR/><BR/>:(<BR/><BR/>However, I did make my kids pay extra attention to the part where Donnell is mentioned in the audiotape of FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER which we listened to on our way home to Virginia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1152729453595109862006-07-12T14:37:00.000-04:002006-07-12T14:37:00.000-04:00It was fabulous, trust me.

The odd part came when a friend pointed out that the groom was from that reality show Paradise Hotel. Odd because he was with a different girl on the show. Odder still because my friend had actually WATCHED the show enough to recognize him.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-1152727844463534322006-07-12T14:10:00.000-04:002006-07-12T14:10:00.000-04:00My daughter was at that game on Coney Island, alon...My daughter was at that game on Coney Island, along with a whole slew of boisterous Italian cousins.
