In NYC for both personal and book stuff, which are merging in interesting ways. If you’ve read the book, this trip is almost a post-script by itself.
My sister is doing well enough now that she’s arriving tomorrow for her first-ever visit to New York, and I’ll be showing her around for a few days. I’ll also probably visit with perhaps half a dozen characters in the book — the Luxembourgian Prince, the guy who makes paper explode in flame with his mind, the professor who beat me so badly that it was shown on airlines as in-flight entertainment, etc. The whole thing culminates in a J!-related
visit to Radio City Music Hall in the company of a bunch of publishing people who
made the book possible.
Three bits of my life are converging at once.
It’s pretty damned wonderful. I am grateful to a whole bunch of people.
