Go me. My local paper published my letter to the editor. I didn't think they would because I wrote it on the 2nd, but they put it in on the 12th. Check it out. Palm Beach Post

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
If any librarians who subscribe to Booklist happen to catch this, can you email me with a link to today's? There's a review of "Matty Groves" in there.

Deb, I just asked a friend at ALA if she can help.

I shall be moving across the water to Sheffield tomorrow and have no idea what, if any, kind of internet access I'll have. So, maybe possibly darkish perhaps.
Also, having-a-place-to-live-ma would be greatly appreciated.

Any Chicagoistas (or Midwesternistas, I guess) know somebody who needs a dog? My neighbor is fostering a real cutie-head. He's seven months old, housebroken, fixed, very sweet and friendly - we were just out with him playing around with a toddler. Currently named Obie. In size and looks, he's very similar to my Lucy.

Like I need a hole in my head
If there's any spare job-ma floating around, I'd appreciate it wafting my way, thank you!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I found out last night that a good friend and person that Joe and Imoved to LA with lo these many years ago, broke his neck (c5) bouldering in Griffith Park about 2 weeks ago. The doctors are hopeful -he's off the vent, but has a trach. He's at about 80% breathing on his own. He also has some arm movement back and is getting some feeling in his legs, but is still, at this point, paralyzed from the chest down. He's in the ICU at USC Medical Center.
He's an amazing comic actor (think Chris Farley and Jim Belushi) and he has no insurance. His restaurant is having a fundraiser on the 29th for him. He is so vibrant and full of life and talented and one of the best people on the face of the earth. Please send him and spare ~ma and prayers you might have. He's got a long road ahead and every little bit helps. I really really love this guy and Joe does, too.

Since I posted about her illness here, I'll update with the news that my grandmother passed away on 9/15.

A little ~ma for my husband and his family. His grandfather passed away late last night. We're off to Dallas for the funeral tomorrow morning, and I'll probably be dark until Thursday.
