Last night, I went to City Arts & Lectures at the Herbst Theatre to hear Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) talk about their latest book.
I learned that Maira Kalman's living room is full of ladders. Because she loves them.
The girl sitting next to me was wearing lamb ears, and occasionally amusing herself by looking backwards through binoculars at her own hands.
At Q&A time, she asked Daniel Handler whether he thought there was an age at which is was no longer appropriate to go trick-or-treating.
He responded, "This is not from personal experience. I would say that if someone asks you if you're the parent of one of the other children, and you aren't, then you're too old. However, I can't overstate the enjoyment of telling everyone else to go out and have fun, while you stay at home alone with a bowl of candy."
