I’m headed south today, to the Southern Voicesconference, a fantastic event at the Hoover Library near Birmingham, Alabama. I was lucky enough to go last year, although this time I don’t plan to drive home at 1am and get a flat tire when pulling into Franklin, Tennessee at 4am. Live and learn! It’s...

I was completely stunned on Saturday night when I read the news of David Foster Wallace’s death. Knocked the wind out of me.

So, evidently, I’ve decided that the best way to prepare for a fabulous weekend is to go out before it even starts. Regular readers know that few people know better how to get in trouble thanRenee Rosen and me. But don’t we lookinnocent? You’d trust us with your car, right?

Deception? Yes, but not from me. I promised a real blog, and here it is, for better or worse. Or something like that.
It’s been a fantastic week. JT Ellison visited over the weekend, and together with Renee Rosen we played and played. A good time was had by all. Pictures here. Do I need to explain...
