Next Thursday at lunchtime, I try something entirely new:  a joint public appearance with my wife, Nancy Floreen, member at-large of the Montgomery County Council!  We’ll be at the Literary Luncheon series of the Friends of the Library of Montgomery County, at Strathmore Hall Mansion in North Bethesda, MD.  The fun starts at 11:30 a.m.

We are supposed to talk about (i) what it’s like living with a writer, and (ii) what it’s like living with a politician.  Hmmmm. 

To paraphrase what Jack Nicholson bellowed at Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men, do you think we can handle the truth — after only 35 years of marriage? 

No, I’m not sure, either.  Maybe I’ll just talk about my books.

Come and see!  (There will be a surcharge if a food fight erupts.)
