LOST in Margaritaville

Never say never again.

That's my new motto. Because I keep saying that I'm done with promoting and touring on behalf of my book, Lost in the Ivy.

Then something comes along that I can't turn down. First it was The Book Cellar in Chicago's Lincoln Square. Then it was the Printers Row Book Fair.

Now it's Meeting of the Minds.

Don't know what that is? Well, then you're not a true Parrothead. Because Meeting of the Minds is the annual convention of Parrotheads, a commonly used nickname for fans of musician Jimmy Buffett. And 3,500 of these grass skirt-wearing, margarita-drinking devotees of all things Jimmy will be gathering in Key West, Florida, Nov. 1-4.

And I'll be there signing my book. Thanks to my good friend and fellow author, JD Gordon, for inviting me and getting me in. The two of us will be flying on Halloween, in Spirit Airways' "big seats."

Now all I gotta find is that lost shaker of salt. Maybe I'll find it in the ivy.
