A cool birthday treat huh :-) !!??

Hey Marj....and yeah sorry I haven't followed up on this. I've been out in Austria making the most of the fresh powder....a few great days for sure. Now I'm back with very sore legs but a big smile....not quite a big as when I met Sir D on my birthday but close!

Anyway, the talk was great. Ever the personality, his words and stories were interesting, thought prevoking and often funny as well! The hour just went oh too quickly unfortunately! The book signing afterward was busy but I managed enough time to give him a copy of a film pitch I'm working on at the moment (always worth a shot huh) and act like a star struck school girl in the process ;-) !! I now have a couple of signed copies of Life In Cold Blood too.........heres a few pics :-) !

It was a great experience indeed!
