Oh my, how I like the sound of that...
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Allyson, please schedule your booking with Jon Stewart now.
Your confidence makes me giggle. I have none of those expectations. I'm just stoked that the firefly fans are giving me a little table space at Wondercon to put out flyers.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My office jobs have been either 9 - 5 (with 1 hour lunch) 8 - 5 (with a 1 hour lunch) or 8:00 - 4:30 (with a half hour lunch). At my university, there is no office (except medical departments which see patients) open past 5:00, and in many cases offices close at 4 or 4:30 (bursar's, registrar's, parking).

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Allyson, has your publisher started setting up a promotional tour for you yet? Because I was just thinking that a great interview for you would be on WGN radio, with Nick Digilio. His late-night weekend show is very pop-culture heavy (he's interviewed Tim at least once that I recall), and his listeners are really into things like your book. Also, in the nighttime hours, WGN's 50,000 watts can be heard in 38 states and a few provinces.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why the human-dog bond can be so strong: [link]
Psychologist Brian Hare of Harvard has also studied the human-animal bond and reports that dogs are astonishingly skilled at reading humans' patterns of social behavior, especially behaviors related to food and care. They figure out our moods and what makes us happy, what moves us. Then they act accordingly, and we tell ourselves that they're crazy about us.
"It appears that dogs have evolved specialized skills for reading human social and communicative behavior," Hare concludes, which is why dogs live so much better than moles.
