Hi Cal,

Well, not knowing you two were going to be there I didn't have any plans to hang out near shore about then, but I will give it some thought. It would be fun. My only problem is that I would have to get up at 3:30 that morning in order to be ready for the Bell Ringing Ceremony and as you know you have to check out of most places by noon and you can't get into the next one until 3 at the earliest, so even catching a nap may not be possible. Driving home and back I don't think is an option either. Who knows, if I can work it out, I'll be there.

I would love it if you would post your signing schedule, dates & locations and maybe that will pave the way for more of the Internet friends to come and see Jim and yourself.

I'm having the Wave party here as soon as I launch my book on the net and you will both be invited, so if you can post your schedule I'm willing to work around it. And of course, nothing would be please me more if the RCF took a little leap right about 30 minutes into it. Wouldn't that be cool?

Petra
