I hadn’t been to Orlando since I moved to Florida in September 2019, until two weeks ago when I attended the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) Publishing University. Yes, I have already written a post about it, but that was the virtual portion. This time I got to put on real clothes and drive (in the traffic) to Sea World where the hotel was.  It was a little challenging for an introvert like me to be among 300 or 400 people whom I had never met in person.

Sylvia started the year as a very young 2nd-grader who just turned 7 (the age I turned 3 months into my 1st-grade year). If I could go back in time, I would have given her a second year of kindergarten before starting 1st grade.
