>Richard and I are off to Napa today for the wedding of his adorable son Dorian to the lovely Julie, so I won't be posting for a week or so. Kitty tells me she'll keep you informed of any especially juicy gossip.

Plenty of reading is coming along--the last quarter of Middlemarch, Ha Jin's A Free Life, Scott McClelland ratting out his boss, Colin Thubron on Siberia and Richard Grant on the Sierra Madre. And a bunch of mysteries. (This is where the Kindle comes in really handy.) I'm hoping to pick up the new David Sedaris and John Sandford at the airport.
