Party Time?

My wife and Mother-in-law are putting together a "Meet the Author" Event at the bookstore for 1:05 a.m. An ice Era Chronicle. I am honored that they are going through all this preparation. I would tell them it isn't necessary, but I'm pretty sure that would burst their balloons. (That's both literal and figurative.)

Anyway, i know some of you (the ones near me in Minnesota) will be stopping by. I am excited to visit with some of my friends and who knows, I might even make some new ones. I know what you're thinking... isn't he a crabby war vet? Yes I am, but I will be charming for that afternoon. I promise.
