I have managed to flabbergast some of my friends by refusing to do nothing since I wrote my first book. Nothing, I am told, is what one does when a job is done. What I can't seem to get across is the fact that this job is never done. Books simply do not sell themselves. I know this... I gave ten of...

I leave tonight, and will be spending all day on Inaugeration Day taking in the sights and sounds of a transition of power. I plan to get a good place for the swearing in, and hopefully share in some...
