I did my first ever book signing today. I walked into the Barnes & Noble dreading it, feeling like I was heading into a root canal. I just figured I would be sitting there alone, with everyone just kind of snickering at me. Turns out it wasn't as bad as I expected.
I was thinking I'd sell maybe 3 copies, but it was actually more like 30. There were some really cool things. One person bought a book to send to a family member who is in jail. Another bought one for a sister who is in drug rehab. One guy bought a copy for his wife who is investigating different religions to decide what she's going to believe. (Wow.)
And now my boys - the University of Illinios basketball team - upset Purdue in the Big 10 Tournament yesterday and are playing Minnesota right now for the chance to go to Big 10 Championship. Go Illini!!

You just upped your cool quotient by revealing that you are an Illini fan! And now they have made it 20 in a row over Minnesota. Can they beat the Badgers?
Go Penn State! Oh.., they stink in Basketball; that's right!
Went to the B&N at 11 thinking it was in the morning - doh!! Oh well..., it was my one chance to meet a real celebrity and I blew it!
i didn't know it was possible to up my cool quotient any higher...
i actually went to illinois, for law school (which is a whole other story in itself). hopefully the badgers will have some kind of ridiculously off day...
