I went to hear some friends perform their music at a fun little local bar, Red Cedar in Hoquiam, Washington. When I went to order a drink, I saw my "Photographs from the Street: Aberdeen Cats" book was sitting on the bar. I asked the bartender (and owner) if the book was hers and introduced myself as its author. She shook my hand and said that the students in a class she teaches at the YMCA had given her the book as a gift because she so often talked about her cats. She loves the book and said her customers also enjoy it. It is moments such as those that bring joy to me.
