Googling my book today to see where it's popping up after its first few days on the market! Today's highlight? The Chicago Public Library chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126… Does this mean they bought a copy for each of their 81 locations? I can hope! Thank you, Chicago librarians!

More library news: My daughter-in-law Claire is friends with Siobhan, a librarian at the Barrington, RI Public Library, and Siobhan has already got my book in her library's collection. And it's already been checked out! Thank you Claire and Siobhan! barringtonlibrary.oslri.net/Record/981770

This 4th of July seemed like a good day for Monica & me to tour the beautiful grounds of the Carter Center here in Atlanta and pay our respects to one of the most decent, honorable and admirable presidents we've ever had.

Today marks 15 years of marriage with this beautiful soul. How did I get so lucky?

I just watched "Projekt UFO," an extremely odd yet extremely compelling miniseries on Netflix about "Poland's Roswell." It's too hard to describe; you'll just have to watch it yourself! #ufotwitter netflix.com/title/81634683
