I had the pleasure of meeting Andra and James all too briefly at the 'Here' party last night, and found them both to be very gracious and accessible amid all the attention, though they looked, quite understandably, pretty tired. With the melodramatic staginess of BMB itself, it's nice to have the tangible reminder that these are not just characters in a story, but real people - and damn fine people at that (if I were fifteen years younger, I'd ask Andra to put me on James's waiting list, but never mind that now... :-)).
It occurs to me that Andra's two kids are _very_ lucky to have a mom like that to set an example of good character every day (OK, I'm exaggerating - everyone has bad days, and this is surely not St. Andra - but the point stands).
