Dear Reader,
I'm back! My trip to New York was fun and the marketing meeting for my upcoming book was very productive--thanks to you! Eight publishing executives were at the meeting and they were all anxious to read your marketing ideas, and impressed that you took the time to send them. We were a hit! Thanks again for taking the time to share your ideas with me.
The weather in New York City was picture perfect. We had lunch with my husband's brother and then I talked the two of them into taking a Pedicab ride through Central Park. They were both a little shy about the idea at first, but after the 45 minute ride they thanked me for talking them into it.

From my Email Bag:
"Suzanne, I just came back from Florida and I've got to hand it to you. Somehow you escape from having what I call 'Florida hair'. I've gone back to look at pictures of you and your hair always looks great! It's not the big, frizzy, puff ball that I experienced last week when I was visiting. I thought I was being smart this time, because I've been to Florida before. I brought along 'no frizz' styling products, my own hair dryer, AND as a weapon of last resort, my straightening iron. But I wouldn't call my assault on Florida hair a runaway success, although I will admit to some limited achievements, after hours of working on it.
So Suzanne--let me in on your secret - HOW DO YOU DO IT? You write interesting and funny daily columns, have written a book, support libraries, make lots of cookies, AND you don't suffer from Florida hair! Kudos, Suzanne, kudos.
I hope you and your lovely hair have a great day today,"--Paula

Dear Paula,
Florida is a wonderful place to live, but the hair frizzies can get to you. And they almost did the first couple of years I lived here. But this is my secret. First I use a very, very, cold rinse after I apply my hair conditioner. And if the humidity is high and I'm going to be outdoors for a while, I wrap my hair around my head and stuff a baseball cap on top. The hair can't totally escape the humidity, but flattened underneath a baseball cap, at least it has a fighting chance!
The next time you come to Florida, stop by Sarasota and we'll have tea and I'll lend you a cap!
*Another thing I love about New York City is NO hair frizzies!
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
