July 8th, 2009
Today is June 38th. Time is still not moving as slow as I'd like!
Yes, somehow it is time for ALA again. My speeches are almost done, but I haven't started thinking about what I'm going to wear. This might be the year I show up in my pajamas. You have been warned.
If you are headed to Chicago for ALA this weekend, and you are curious about my attire, or have a bet with a friend about my shoes, here is where and when you can find me.

For those of you playing along with your scorecards at home, there are 3 official signing times, and I'll be giving three speeches. I'm not sure if the speeches will have audience overlap, but I am trying very hard to make sure they are distinct.
Will you be in Chicago this weekend??
