  My Book Selected for Publisher's Choice

  I've just received exciting news.
  
  Traveling Sitting Still has been selected as a Publisher's Choice book. I'm very excited about this designation, as it means my book will be marketed more aggressively. If sales in local Barnes & Noble stores are vibrant enough the book may be picked up for similar attention in B&N stores at various spots throughout the nation (based on target audience and marketing data).
  
  This distinction on top of Editor's Choice has really given me a boost of confidence and brightened my week. I am thrilled the book has garnered such special attention and I'm hopeful this will bring more readers my way.
  
  I am reviewing the final (and I mean FINAL) proofs now and I'm still expecting the book will be available in May.

  Stand Up, Speak Out!

  Fellow Americans,
  
  Four years after our illegal invasion of Iraq—an unjustified and wholly immoral act of economic colonialism—hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed, more than 3,000 American service members have died, and our treasury continues to be bled dry to service a runaway military-industrial complex.
  
  I mourn the dead and wounded, and I will continue to loudly denounce our behavior in the Middle East and in many other regions of the world. I hold myself responsible for the corruption of my government. I hold you responsible too. I hold all of us, responsible.
  
  This weekend, in major cities throughout the United States, vigils and protests are being held to mark the four year anniversary of an invasion and a war that never should have occurred. I implore you to seek one out and attend it. I implore you to take the very small step of standing up, voicing opposition, and taking action. It really is the least that you and I can do. The very least.
  
  If you live in San Diego, a march and rally will take place downtown at 4th and Broadway (1PM, Horton Plaza) on Saturday. Information and fliers are available here: http://www.sdcpj.org/
  
  For those living in other areas of the country, visit http://www.unitedforpeace.org/ or http://www.moveon.org to find an event near you.
  
  Respectfully,

  Finally, a New System

  I've been waiting for the new OS from Windows before upgrading
  my desktop system. Finally, Vista is shipping and I can replace this
  rusty, five-year-old system I've been using. Lately it's really begun
  to bog up and aggravate me. It's served me well, certainly, but I'm
  very excited to receive my new system:
  
  Dell XPS 410
  Windows Vista Home Premium
  Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4MB L2 Cache, 2.4GHz
  4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz
  320 GB Hard-drive at 7200RPM
  16x DVD/CD Burner
  256 MB nVidia GeForce 7900 GS video card
  Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
  
  Sweet!
