UPDATE:
By the way, don't forget that both Fortinbras and Sweet Charity open this weekend!!!! Lots of theater-type stuff to do.

Nope, it's not the Onion. It's real.

Someone asked me recently, "Meghann, how can you say you don't mind people reading parts of your book for free? What if someone xeroxed your book and was handing it out for free on street corners?"
I replied, "Well, it seems to be working for Jesus."
‘‘No one really thought through the consequences of parking the cars and leaving the keys so they could be easily moved,’’ the governor said (discussing his son's stolen car.)
