The P.O. Is Coming to Kentucky - Pardon Me If I Skip It

What a month it is in Kentucky - first we get Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the long-running road show that has become the Democratic nomination process, and today I have heard that the P.O. is going to be the guest of the Diocese of Kentucky for a four-day visit May 15-18.  Anyone want to bet that +Sauls in DioLex is jealous, or that he'll be popping in at some of the events in DioKY?  Be careful, Bishop Sauls, because you know that crossing Diocesan lines without permission is a hangin' offense in the TEO these days, even for 80+ year old retired Bishops!

I'm going to skip it, if you don't mind.  We'll get all the reports of what comes from her mouth while she's there from our brethren and, you know, since that bad bout of acute gallstone pancreatitis in 2003 my stomach's been more than a little sensitive and I don't want to risk first-hand exposure.  Besides, I'm concerned she might wear the oven mitt again and I suspect if she does pretty soon we'll be seeing those things all over Louisville. 

What I AM going to be doing this weekend has now become a little ironic, because I am one of the authors participating in the 2008 Bluegrass Festival of Books here in Lexington, and will be signing my novel, Lest Ye Be Judged, which, in case you've missed it (and judging by sales figures a lot of you have), is a mystery/legal thriller about the murder of an Episcopal Bishop.  Maybe I should send a personally-signed copy to the P.O. care of Bishop Gulick's office?   Hmmm.

Lest Ye Be Jugded goes for $20.95 at Amazon.com, can't I just wait until the movie comes out?

From your lips to God's ears! One of our favorite family arguments when I finished that book was casting the movie - of course the cast I chose would take more than the national debt to make, but...
BTW, I think the book fair price is lower, so if you're in the area, come on by.

Then again, with move tickets going for $8.00, and sodas and popcorn for two blowing at least another $20, not to mention dinner if you're on a date or trying to get back in the spouse's good graces, maybe $20.95 for the book is a deal! On top of that you can substitute your "favorite" TEO bishop in your mind as you read for the fictional one who gets it in the book....
