Back Home

Had a great time away, and picked up some news for those of you who may be visiting Nantucket, Massachusetts, later this month: "Bookmark on the Beach" is slated for Sunday, August 26, 2007. It will feature Debby Applegate, Christopher Hitchens, Robert Pinsky, and Josh Ritter, among others, and a special tribute to David Halberstam is planned. Details here.

(By the way, my little niece loves the book I brought her, and has even begun coming up with some "poetry" [rhymes] of her own.)
