Nilly! Thank you!
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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.

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
Nothing like that so far, Kathy. It's still pretty early.
I'm trying to figure out my own little book tour: Seattle, LA, San Francisco, and then over to the east coast for Boston, New York, and Baltimore.
I don't travel well. I'm like organic fruit. I'm way sweeter close to home.
So I'm trying to stay in places where there are many Buffistas to keep me from having a nervous breakdown and give me safe harbor.

I didn't realize Amazon finally has the book for pre-order. Whee! I just pre-ordered it.

Allyson, is it better for your purposes if people pre-order through Amazon or Wal-mart?

Allyson, it's funny - if you add in Vortex's generous DC offer, your possible future book tour looks so similar to my own USA trip (with the added bonuses of Seattle and Baltimore, of course, but other than that, it's even in the same order!).

I didn't either! No more international-pre-order possibilities whinings! Yay!

Yay Allyson! Sounds like good news to me. I say you update the champagne vessel to like, one of those fancy engraved plastic thingies they give you at weddings.
Happy birthday Kristin and Maria!
I'm glad y'all are having good days, because the mood is actually improving mine a bit.
