Bob Chase and I will be signing books before Friday's game against Dayton. I'll also be selling copies of The Lake Effect and signing them before the game. Bob will be there from 7 p.m. when the doors open until about 7:30 p.m., and I'll be back during the first intermission.

Somebody needs to come and make up for Burgee's absence. He's being a bum in Florida.
Here's what they are talking about:
If the Komets finish second, Game 1 in FW, Thursday, April 22; Game 2 in PH Friday or Saturday and Game 3 in FW Sunday. It'll be a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 format.
