We used to joke that Louisa's middle name was "Persistence." It was a nicer way of saying stubborn, on those occasions when she dug in and refused to back down from a goal —like when she lobbied for a pet rat (we ended up with two).

I feel like I can take credit for some of those persistence genes, now that I've demonstrated some stubbornness of my own. More than 12 years after I launched into a research project that eventually became a book project, I have a big announcement: I have signed a contract with Nodin Press of Minneapolis! I am beyond thrilled that its publisher, Norton Stillman, decided my manuscript was worthy of his esteemed press, which has been in business for more than 50 years.

Steve, Sebastian, Elias, and I flew out to Los Angeles at the end of January to visit Louisa for several days — fortuitously, our timing meant we missed most of the polar vortex — and on our second night in the "Entertainment Capital of the World," we had not one but TWO celebrity sightings.
