The National Book Festival sponsored by the Library of Congress is playing host to over 175 authors including Buzz Aldrin (astronaut) Tom Brokaw (award-winning journalist) and Juan Felipe Herrera (poet Laurent) and I’m not there. If only I had planned my schedule a bit better, this weekend would be amazing for my brain, instead my highlight is a wedding party. Yes I know the drinks and dancing will be fun but my mind will probably drift off to the book festival and this chapter that I missed in my life. G-D willing next year I’ll attend and I’ll start a new story for my life.
