a sofa full of party

Flash! was given a party in English today, courtesy of David St John - seated left - and the English Department, and I was so happy to raise a glass to the book and all who'd helped launch her, in various ways - it was held in the Ide Room, where I once gave a talk that launched a number of questions that actually found their way into the finished volume in one way or another.  I just wish I could have a sofa-full like the one above to party with every day ,,,
