It's not just cats . . .

Last night I went to see my much admired former employer give a reading from his new book. It compares the US to ancient Rome. Then I went and watched him on the Colbert Report, which is pretty hilarious and well worth watching.


My predecessor in my job and I (and her boyfriend) went together, so that it was like a meeting of the ex-assistant fan club. He signed my book, but not with one of the blue pilot pens I used to know so well.
