I'll be reading all over the country in the coming months, from Boston to Chicago to San Francisco to Austin, and many points in the middle - 24 readings! - and I'll be sure to let you know about that soon.  But in the short term, I'd like to invite you to my two New York launches, one in Manhattan, all fancy-like, and one in Brooklyn, because that is where my heart is.

January 21, 7:30 PM - Barnes and Noble Tribeca, 97 Warren Street
After party: Puffy's, 81 Hudson Street

January 28, 7:30 PM - Word Bookstore in Greenpoint, BK 126 Franklin St
After party: Diamond Bar, 43 Franklin Street

I thank you all for your continued support over these past five years I've been putting out books.  It has meant the world to me.  You don't even know.  Seriously.

Kids in Vegas

There's grills in this skill crane.



This skill crane is extra large, big enough for a basketball (or a toddler).


Isa rode this thing five times.

Another Salt in Wound Mystery

Bernie and I got married at the Bellagio Hotel. There was a big party with a lot of logistics that my wife is unaware of to this day. This is a picture of me arriving with some of Bernie's family to the pre-party in our suite.

Why am I arriving to my own party? Because I was constantly going downstairs so I could get guests onto the elevator.

There is a lot of security at the Bellagio. The lobby is a zoo. I don't think I could have gotten three large men onto the elevator without a hassle. It's why I question Javon Walker's account of being robbed in his room, carried unconscious through the hotel and then tossed into the street.

Is it possible he was robbed...





...in the street?
