    Gee, this is one time I wish I lived in Cleveland. I’ve heard Sherman Alexie speak and he is fabulous. I think he is also rather cute but that is beside the point. He did a great job with The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. It is a wonderful book that made me laugh and cry. Come to think of it, the time I heard him speak I also laughed and cried.

    On Sunday I will be envying you lucky ducks who are at the Cleveland Public Library.
