The roses are blooming, the hibiscus is nodding, the tangerines are ripening… it’s sunny and warm down here in southern California. All that’s missing from this idyllic picture is your presence. I hereby officially suggest convening a Salon in the West, hosted by yours truly! Who’s in?

I’m thinking that March-ish might be nice, providing sufficient time to work out schedules and get good plane ticket deals for those of you who would be traveling from afar. But earlier is good, too, since that makes the lovely weather all the more savory. What say you?

Happy New Year, one and all!
