I&#8217;m getting on a plane this morning to head to Connecticut. Last year, I was fortunate enough to receive the James Marshall Fellowship from the University of Connecticut. That means I have the opportunity to look through the papers of author-illustrator <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_Marshall_(author)\">James Marshall<\/a><\/strong>. (Big fan here of his work. I&#8217;m excited!) I was going to do that back in October, but it was the week my father passed away. So, I had to re-schedule. And now it&#8217;s here &#8212; the week I&#8217;m finally going! <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to looking through the Marshall Papers all this week, which means I&#8217;ll see lots of sketches and art. I&#8217;ll also have the opportunity to meet people up there in Connecticut who knew and love Marshall (who passed away in 1992). <\/p>\n<p>That takes care of all seven of my kicks this week. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be able to read your kicks later today, BUT I won&#8217;t fly back till next Sunday, so this means that a) 7-Imp will be quiet this week and b) this post will still be here Sunday, April 10th, and I&#8217;m sorry I won&#8217;t have new art for you then. If you want to leave your kicks for <em>next<\/em> Sunday, too, at this same post, that&#8217;d make me happy. But no pressure. <\/p>\n<p>And then after <em>all<\/em> that, I&#8217;ll be back on schedule. <\/p>\n<p>See you on the other side of next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, dear kickers!
