Book Party for Maureen Howard, October 24 2009



Maureen Howard (in grey), my sometime Monterey neighbor and respected teacher, novelist and all-round intellectual just published her ninth book, The Rags of Time.  In honor of this, Annette Grant (in red), also a good friend of Maureen's, and I hosted a book party to celebrate.  About 20 people came over on a viciously rainy and windy Saturday afternoon to nibble a few goodies and listen to Maureen read a Halloween passage from her book.  She's an accomplished teacher, which was clear from the moment she began talking.  Chris Blair, a friend and neighbor of Maureen, is hobbyist photographer who could easily do it for a living.  The picture above may not be an adequate demonstration of Chris's talent, but don't blame him.  Blame my camera and the lighting.  And check out Chris's blog, blair-house.blogspot.com.  It will make you hungry.
