RECREATION

ADVISORY
Blogging from me will be light today, because I'm in New York for the booksellers convention, which is where we authors go to act like complete strumpets meet with booksellers. Last night at the Disney Publishing dinner a group of men who have written children's books sang a protest song in honor of Bob Dylan's 70th birthday, titled "Everybody's Writing a Goddam Children's Book." The group was (from left) Ridley Pearson, Eoin Colfer, Rick Riordan, the late Ray Charles and Mo Willems (who took a triangle solo). When we were finished there was hardly a pair of dry underpants in the house.
