The Bushmans are in our ward. They are pretty amazing. I will be sad to see them go back to NY!

i have many questions. FIRST, WHAT is this book proposal. Second, what are the Bushmans doing in Utah? Third, when will I see you again?

Book proposal=food book/memoir type thing. The Bushman's come here every summer. They've been in Pasadena, but Erika says they're coming back to NY. I don't have a NY trip planned at the moment, but need one soon. I'm sad you don't make it to UT anymore! Perhaps we need a writing retreat somewhere. . . .
