Is anyone else going? We'll be there and hopefully will be able to get there early enough to get decent seats. If anyone else goes, it would be nice to say hi or meet new TE people :D

I'm so jealous LOL
He's not coming to Canada is he?? :(
we're not going, son's best friend is coming to dinner :(
mekira, it looks like no Canada dates, alas!
Mimitabby, too bad. If you want a book signed, let me know. I don't know if there's a limit or not but we're willing to get books to have them signed if anyone wants one.
I keep saying that I should call in 'hot' (hey, I've got over 1800 hours of accumulated sick leave!). Would that work for Floyd?
Just joking, Mr. East Hill would frown on dodging my responsibilities...:p
East Hill
ah, East, you only live once. If you really want to go, DO IT.
the job will still be there tomorrow.
Dang I wish I could go but I will be packing tonight. Tomorrow morning early we are leaving for Spokane. Going to my niece's wedding. I sure wish I could go!!!! :( Teigyr let me know all about it! Pictures!
Last night I made sure the battery was charged in the camera. I even woke up at 4am to go to the signing; my normal shift is 10am-8:30pm so I swapped it to a 6am start time.
I only have maybe 4 hours of sleep due to heat and having to wake up early but I will do the best I can :D
The things we do for cycling.
If I'd been thinking, I would have done as teigyr, and rearranged my schedule. It's too hot to think straight.Quote:

Dear. East Hill's Employer,
East Hill has a dr's appointment and will be unable to attend today. Please accept this note to verify her absence is necessary. She will be back to work tomorrow.
Teigyr
:D Yes, the things we do for cycling! You are prepared teigyr! I can't wait to hear all about it!
Speaking of heat . . . yesterday I did a 40 mile ride in the dang heat. I started at 9:00 AM (when I should have started at 7:00 AM) . . . then I ran into a friend. We rode to an espresso stand and chatted and sipped mochas for 40 minutes (while the temperature rose and rose). I finished my ride a little past noon with the temperature reading 93 degrees at my house. Needless to say I paid the price. I had a horrible headache the rest of the day. No matter how much water, poweraide, fluids I took in the headache persisted. Even tylenol and later ibuprofen did not help. Heat can be dangerous. Thank goodness it's cooler today. Be safe out there when the temperatures are high!
Hehehehe, I already have FMLA paperwork on the books, but darn it, they're expecting me, and another person already is taking the day off on annual leave--so I would feel quite guilty :o .Quote:

Crud. I forgot. And now it's too late.
The darn bookshop is about 4 miles from me!!!!!! crud. crud. crud.
how'd it go Teigyr??
He was completely open to every question asked. We were in the fourth row and this was his largest signing yet. I think he was pretty amazed! He did ride earlier that day and was on the trail but I don't know when. There was a long wait for book signing but he handled it with grace and a sense of humor.
