Shameless plugs
It seems odd to me that I'm the sort of person who actually makes public appearances, but I suppose that is no more strange than the fact that some of you might be interested in said appearances.
On Saturday, April 28, at 1:30 p.m., I will be at the Neptune Public Library helping to moderate a community discussion of free speech issues with a local pastor, the Rev. Gil Caldwell. I don't know how much I can add to such a discussion -- "Free speech? I'm in favor of it'' - or what the whole thing will turn out to be. I figure we can be surprised together.
And then on Sunday, June 3, I'll be at the East Brunswick public library for two hours, from 6 to 8 p.m., with my little dog and pony show of stories and anecdotes, a little thing I like to call "Scars, Tattoos and the Funny Bone.''
Maybe I'll see you there.

I have met you before and shook your hand. I have also spoken to you on the phone...you called me, actually, in response to a letter I wrote you about one of your newspaper articles. At the time you said, "usually people just write 'you stink' ". I hadn't written that. You actually had written a beautiful piece in response to a terrible incident in which a tree had fallen on a parked car and killed a toddler. It moved me so. I was upset about that too. Things like that do shake our faith at times. Anytime the innocent die needlessly it just just rattles us to the core, doesn't it? Makes me feel so small in the realm of things.
Anyway, good luck with your "appearances".

Mr. Riley, make sure you make your visitors go thru a metal detector in case that weird guy Papinian decides to come to any of your lectures...
