Hi, all.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stay for long today, but I had to stop in for a minute. I just had to thank you for all of your hugely kind comments and e-mails about the book. I\u2019m not so good at replying right now, but please know that I read every one, and that you have made my day many times over. This whole book thing feels completely crazy, really. It feels as though I\u2019ve been given a bit part on some flashy, fancy TV show – maybe I\u2019m a murder victim on the autopsy table on CSI: NY<\/span><\/a>, let\u2019s say – and even though I\u2019m only on screen for 20 seconds, probably with bad makeup and a huge, gaping chest wound that makes everyone wince and cover their eyes, what a kick it is, an absolute kick, to be there at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI just wish that I could make it go by a little less quickly. I\u2019ve got to figure out how to slow down my brain. On the other hand, I\u2019ve also got to figure out how to speed up my dishwashing technique. Two days ago, on Saturday, I was still washing dishes from last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Oh well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI\u2019m getting on a plane tomorrow, and here\u2019s a list of where I\u2019m headed. If you\u2019re anywhere nearby, please come say hello. I would love to meet you. I know I\u2019ve said it before, but I wasn\u2019t kidding: to me, that\u2019s the best part of this whole thing.<\/p>\n

This week:<\/p>\n

The March 16 event at Ceiba<\/a> in Washington, DC is now full. There were a huge number of RSVPs, far more than I expected, and there just isn\u2019t enough physical space in the room to accommodate everyone. I\u2019m so sorry about that.<\/p>\n

But, on the upside, we have scheduled a second DC event:
