let's bee friends

First off, let me point you in this direction: my publisher has made a Facebook page for the book, so...go look at it! And LIKE it! You know, click the little thumbs up thinger. I still have no idea what it means to click that you "LIKE" something (do you get points? Is there some ratings system where the most LIKED thing on the internet gets a ham? In which case I am way, way behind that You Tube clip of those kittens hiding in a latex glove box. Go LIKE the book! I NEEDS ME THAT HAM!) Also, while we're on the topic, this is my personal Facebook page--you should FRIEND me because I am FRIENDLY and then we can be FRIENDS and I can read your thoughts about the weather or That Thing You Saw on TV.

So, to sum: There is a website called FACEBOOK. I am FRIENDLY. And you should LIKE my book even if you haven't read it yet, because you should read it, and you will like it. Tiny thumbs up!

(Thank you. Sorry if I was bossy.)

Anyway, I'm on call tonight. Tomorrow I'm post-call, going to a parent-teacher conference at 8:00am, and then heading straight for the airport with Cal for a 10:30 flight to New York. That afternoon, I'm going into say hi to a few people at my publisher, and then my family is having dinner at La Bernardin. If you are not following me on Twitter yet (and if that is the case, why not?) now might be a good time, because I'm going to be tweeting a lot on this trip--primarily for Joe, who can't come because of work, and in whom I want to incite a raging jealousy--so why not come along for the ride? We'll go look at the squid and the whale together!

OK, gotta go to work. If you live in Atlanta, don't get sick tonight.
