I have been on the planning committee for this inaugural event the OCLC is putting on. Somehow I've done it again and have agreed to be one of the author transporters (a job that's a lot of work but I find fun...all the juicy stuff gets said in the car in route to these big events). I don't know which author I'll be driving around, but I'm hoping it's Patricia Marx. She's a humorous novelist and has written for Saturday Night Live, The Huffington Post, Rugrats, the New Yorker, the New York Times and on and on. I better get a read-on so I can talk to her about her work. Also I better cough up $200 so David and I can attend the reception at the home of Erskine Bowles on Feb. 17th (his birthday. Guess what he's getting? Not much of anything else). Isn't volunteering fun?
