We've had a lot of people call and say are you still open even? Is the festival still going on? How's the city?

It's very important. It brings a lot of people in, it's the beginning of our season.

We want everyone to know we're up, we're ready, we're doing great.

I meet people at book signings who whisper to me, 'We are trying the spells.' And I think: Well, don't bother, because I know I just made them up. They don't work,

I want to get across to people that I'm not retiring for a long time, but as I slow down, I want these people to carry on. It's not just me anymore. We're all Donna.

Oh it is a beauty since not very many people are catching them and it is hard to get a bite out here, it is nice to get one on the ice today.
