Foofaraw

Thanks to my friend and fellow writer Bethene Callahan for introducing me to the word “foofaraw”  which connotes a great fuss about a minor thing or excessive decoration (we are moving towards the seasons of that!) 

Tomorrow is the Conversations with Authors event.  I am going and will post a report!  Laura Pritchett, one of the speakers, just published a stunning piece about the recent floods:  http://www.onearth.org/articles/2013/09/the-sound-and-the-fury-of-colorados-deadly-floods
