EPIC ROAD TRIP autumn half!<br /><br />I'm actually excited to be on the second half because maybe (maybe?) I will have gotten to read <i>Kiss Goodbye</i> before I see you (do we have a month on that release date yet?).<br /><br />And I'm excited to read <i>Road Rash</i>.<br /><br />And <i>daily updates</i>!<br /><br />And JESSICA that cake sounds amazing WHY ARE YOU ALL MAKING ME HUNGRY. (<i>Sweet potato fries.</i> YUM.)<br /><br />(Wendelin, I'm glad you eventually got some cookies.

If this trip is sometime before June I would love to say Rochester NY, but that's probably crossing too many time zones for your first tour!<br /><br />It sounds like a fantastic trip! I have a secret dream that one day I will work remotely so I can drive cross country and just email my employer my work when I get somewhere with internet. :D<br /><br />-Jenn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-23013913125488640282013-11-20T17:15:03.775-08:002013-11-20T17:15:03.775-08:00Jessica- The cake I am talking about involves choc...Jessica- The cake I am talking about involves chocolate cake, brownies, chocolate ganache, caramel, caramel hershey kisses, and nuts.

It would only be a little distance compared to what you'd already have driven, right? Just an idea! Just a very convincing idea! Just a wonderful compelling delightful-sounding idea!

(Coral Gables is a neighborhood in the greater Miami area, and it has a pretty awesome family-owned bookstore). I know it's really out of your way (I mean really, we're WAY down here) but you can guarantee there will be at least one person here waiting for you with open arms! :)<br /><br />And don't forget: we're sunny Florida. While last Sunday most of the United States was bundling up in heavy overcoats and sweaters, I wore a light sundress with sandals (Unfortunately, I didn't go to the beach that day).<br /><br />Come to Miami!

I don't know if, when you're done with the south, it will be worth your while to come alllll the way out into the middle of nowhere central Washington where I live (a town called Grandview)...it's not really convenient to anything and the scenery is usually less than breathtaking. :) It still kills me that you DID visit my hometown in Jackson, TN (10+ years ago) and you DID sign my little brother's Sammy Keyes books. But alas, that was before I was introduced to Sammy myself. Ah, well, thank goodness for blogs and the internet!

I saw a news article that claims we'll reach "peak chocolate" by 2020, when there won't be enough chocolate for everyone in the world who wants it. I'd start stockpiling now, but I'm incapable -- if I have chocolate, I eat chocolate!<br /><br />Kylie, my family favorite cake is Mexican chocolate cake: a chocolate-cinnamon sponge cake with a thick layer of fudge for icing.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-628690573479558032013-11-18T17:17:19.598-08:002013-11-18T17:17:19.598-08:00Reading all these comments is making me hungry!
