This will be a busy week — there’s a Big Event happening at the bookstore on Wednesday, one that’s only marginally book-related. We’re busy with the preparations, but trying to remember that we have to sell books at the same time. I’ll have all the news, which is good news for a change, after it’s over. There will be pictures and a story, too.

Whew! I made it! There’s still time for another sip of coffee before I have to get going. I don’t know how Bess does it…
