Ooma and I traveled to Orlando this past weekend. It was partly just a weekend getaway, but the raison d’etre for the trip was the IBPA Ben Franklin Awards. I was, in effect, a “proxy finalist” as I was representing David Benjamin and Last Kid Books. Fat Vinny’s Forbidden Love was nominated in the “best comedy book” category. It didn’t win, but the ceremony was far more entertaining than I expected. And Ooma, when she saw me in my suit and tie, said that I “cleaned up nicely.” That alone made it worthwhile.
