SHAMELESS ATTEMPT TO WRITE-OFF AT LEAST PART OF OUR UPCOMING HOLIDAYS TRIP TO CALIFORNY!OK, so we're going out to California to spend Thanksgiving with our kids, and that will be great because we really enjoy our time with them and they seem to tolerate us underfoot as well . Except for their tiny and adorable but occasionally borderline psychotic (at least where I'm concerned) rescue mutt-mix Hank, who will cuddle up against me on the couch and then, mere moments later (usually after I stand up to head off for the can or the fridge in the kitchen) start barking after me and maybe even leap up and nip me one on the ass. You probably think that's funny. Below are two adorable pix of Hank in our backyard with our beloved fox terrier Buddy.
On the left is Hank as Buddy's wing man, on the right Buddy plays "toy-of-the-moment keep-away" with Hank. I told you they were adorable....
But the point is this: it's freaking expensive to go out to California, and so I figured if I could find some way to open up my literary pushcart (see below) out there, I could maybe write off part of the trip.
None of you folks are with the IRS, are you?
So the bottom line is I'll be doing yet another book signing at the utterly wonderful Autobooks-Aerobooks Book Store on Saturday, November 23rd, from 10am-noon or thereabouts. They'll also be hosting the Eagle Rock Trompers (a long-running LA hot rod club that's actually older than I am, if you can believe it) that same Saturday, so there should be some really wild machinery parked outside.
And remember, even if you already own all of them, signed, personalized copies of my books make great holiday trips for anybody who'd enjoy a wild sportycar ride through the fifties....
Also, if you happen to be at the opposite end of the country (like upstate New York, for example) I'll be giving some sort of shameless, self-aggrandizing speech/slide-show presentation and setting up to hawk a few books at the famous INTERNATIONAL MOTOR RACING RESEARCH CENTER in Watkins Glen on Saturday, December 7th starting at 1pm. It's free, too. Oh, and they're also raffling off a Ferrari that day....
