I am very sorry to do this to you but I have to switch the Tino Write-in from Monday to Wednesday, 5-9PM because of a family emergency. When my daughter came home from work two days ago, she found my 2-year-old granddaughter bruised and terribly beaten up in her crib. She immediately called the police and they arrested my daughter's boyfriend with whom she had moved in in Morgan Hill, 4 weeks ago. You can never look inside people. I can't say I ever liked him but not in my worst nightmares would I have imagined what he has done. We are all under shock. My little babygirl is doing extremely well, she is a tough cookie but daughter and grand-daughter need me right now. I am back in the babysitting business. Today we were trick and treating and the policemen dropped off teddybears. This was really nice. As Wednesday is my daughter's day off, I can host the Tino write-in then. Mondays I have to go home. If anyone is available to host Monday, please let Lisa know.
I will see you all at the write-ins. I am glad that I had decided to write a novel for my grand-daughter this year: The Day Supergirl Forgot How To Fly

Oh my gosh, Silvia, I am shocked to hear what happened! Your poor family has already been through so much, and this is just terrible. What a relief that your granddaughter is going to be all right.
Don't worry about the Coffee Society write-in. I will be there this Monday (though only until about 7:00), and I'll see if anyone who shows up would like to be the host. I'll talk to you about Wednesdays.

I should have updated this thread with this info before: Silvia will not be hosting at Coffee Society at all so that she can have the time she needs with her family and attend a Wednesday write-in closer to home. So, there is no CS write-in on Wednesdays. But Jen (saraswati) has offered to take over hosting on Monday nights, so please come by Coffee Society then.

Just a note of sympathy--I'm so sorry about what happened to your granddaughter! Of course family has to come first. What a louse, to hurt so small a child.
