I haven’t had a chance to read his book, yet. I am hoping to get it done this weekend. In any event, I do plan to be at this reading. Come early,though, it will be packed!

So much for that morning, eh?
After a chaotic week I found myself on the edge of a long weekend without my usual access to the Internet. I was, for several days, disconnected (I think I just shuddered a little).

For a fellow used to living in a read-write universe, this was a true tragedy.

I’ve been buried in a strange variety of mishaps of this week so I am giving you a cat to appease you. New posts will be coming tomorrow. I have a lot that’s been brewing so expect a few, all fast and furious. I am also going to create a whole Diaspora section because I honestly have a lot more to say on that topic as well.
Enjoy the cat! See you all in the morning.
