I’ll be coming to San…

I'll be coming to San Francisco thrice in the next few months. Next weekend, for Tim and Heather's wedding, Christmas with Kevin's folks, and December 9th, for a benefit for the Sri Lankan Children's Fund. I hesitated about agreeing to do the latter, given time and tiredness, but that's a few weeks after Kriti, so I should have had some time to recover by then. And when they asked me, I just couldn't say no. Those poor kids.

Leaving in an hour for a reading in Salt Lake City. Back tomorrow night. May not have much e-mail access in between.
