Give me the power of man's red flower, so I can be like you

Thanks to those who shared their current reading.  My TBR pile is going to be getting taller, I see...

Yesterday, I visited with the physical therapist, and today I'm stiff; more fun on Thursday, and! a hearing test on Friday.

My father lost his hearing, but we all just figured it was because he worked in a noisy hell of a factory -- he was a spot-welder at General Motors -- before ear protection was mandatory.  Now, it looks like it might be a hereditary thing.  Or, yanno, I could blame all those tapes I transcribed as a secretary, with the earphones on three and four hours a day.  Or the hours wasted listening to rock 'n roll music. . .

As some of you know, Steve and I will be at Book Expo America, as guests of Baen Books/Simon and Schuster.  We'll be signing Necessity's Child and the first half (heh-heh-heh) of Trade Secret at Table 10 in the Big Signing Arena on Saturday, June 1, from 11 a.m. to noon.  We'll also likely be spending some time at Booth 2638, and!  Baen will be hosting a Meet and Greet for us on Friday, May 31, from 4-6 p.m.

Here's the invitation:

If you're attending BEA, we hope you'll join us.
