Me too. I managed to talk my boss into letting me take a couple days vacation on short notice so I will be able to pick up a few workshops, but will miss several events that I would have liked to catch.
My nephew, Lee Goldberg, is on his way there. I think they are putting on a play based on one of his books. He writes the MONK and Diagnosis Murder novels. His brother, Tod Goldberg, is also a famed author...and gee, so are his sisters, and his uncle...and his cousin...and oh, yes, his mom also. Did we leave anyone out?
