For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

    I was a carpet cleaner for about 20 years. Cleaned all over Chicagoland. I was a regular for Dennis DeYoung for about 6 years. Kept to himself mostly, but friendly. He had a dog that he named Lady. His house was pretty big. His bedroom, also huge, had a big master bathroom. To the right of that was a couple of stairs then a small hallway and at the end of that hallway was a room, a literal apartment sized room that was her closet! To the left of the master bathroom was another door, his closet. Open that and I could stick my hand in it and reach the end of his closet. Always struck me funny. Another thing that struck me funny was in his kid’s bedroom, there was a form letter from Mike Schmidt. A form letter. From Mike Schmidt to the son of Dennis DeYoung.

    I also delivered a hand washed rug roll to Bonnie Hunt. Very friendly.
