(I love your icons, in case I haven't mentioned.) Name some members of the Vast Lexington Conspiracy and I'll see who I recognize. I'm still not used to the bizarre ways in which bits of my friendlist link up. Like the friend from Brandeis who performs Gilbert & Sullivan with a member of my cousin's household; that one blew my mind for a couple of days.

my local "fiercely independant bookstore" will have a copy of your book for me in a couple of days! i look forward to reading it.

Wow. What is your local fiercely independent bookstore? I hope you like the book!
