Still smooth sailing

I am happy to report (at 5:16 AM) that I have successfully awakened from the dream (nightmare) in which I arrived at a conference to give my Dangerous Neighbors talk with only my The Heart is Not a Size notes in hand.  One should be able to speak off the cuff about one's own books, you say?  Tell that to Beth, the nightmare dreamer.

Sidenote:  Melissa Firman, you may find it interesting that you were the one tasked with introducing me.  You did an excellent job.
