This weekend was the biggest book festival in the country . . .
In the past it was held at UCLA, but this year it was at my alma mater, USC . . .

I know I was just in Kauai, and then at home writing about Beverly Cleary for the Huffington Post.
But now I'm back in Boston. Sort of.
Huh? Well, again, via the magic of my Time Machine, I am able to take you back to the glorious afternoon I spent in Bean Town. After the shenanigans at The...

The Kauai Visitors Bureau and the Kauai Monk Seal Watch Program (KMSWP) held an essay contest, along with KONG, FM. I was one of the judges, and here's my super secret ballot . . .

Okay, so on Day One we were on Kaua'i doing this. And then we did this. Then we took a WARP SPEED detour. However, now we're back in Kaua'i, thanks to our oh-so-handy Time Machine!

Later, we went to hear Dr. Charles...
