About Your Father: Birthday Present Pre-order
I just got off the phone with my mother, who is celebrating her 82nd birthday today by playing cards in the lobby of a Comfort Inn somewhere with my father and youngest brother. Last night, she slept for approximately half-an-hour on the “auto-train,” which my father insisted on taking from Baltimore, so that he can have his car in West Palm, while visiting my other brother.

Lots of questions regarding the availability of Mom’s book. Here’s what I can tell you.
About My Mother…Sold Out Again
Ashley Lane writes, “Have the additional 200 copies sold out already? eBay is telling me out of stock already!” Hi Ashley. Sorry, all 200 are gone. They sold out in four minutes.
