“Nance,” Kinky said. “I’ve got some great news to tell you about our calendar! Barnes & Noble wants you and me to do a calendar signing on November 15th, a Saturday at 2:00 at their Barnes & Noble Arboretum store in Austin!”
“You’re kidding me? That is great news, Kinky!” I said. “Are you sure they want me there?”
“Yes, Caren told me that she really wanted you to be there to sign calendars, and on Sunday, November 16th they want us to sign calendars at the Barnes & Noble San Pedro store, in San Antonio, at 2:30!”
“Kinky, that is really great news! But, I’m a little concerned about getting there. Maybe Ben can meet me, somewhere in Austin and drive me to the store—MoPac scares me to death! I haven't driven on it, in over thirteen years. I’ll talk to Ben and ask him.”
“Don’t worry about it, Nance,” Kinky said. “You can ride with me to San Antonio on Sunday.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“Then there’s Houston! On November...”
“Hello, Houston—we’ve got us a problem,” I said. “Kinky, I can’t go to Houston—I’m serious. It’s too big of a city, and it really scares me. Seriously, I can’t go there. Besides, the people are going to be coming there to see you—not me and you know that.”
“Okay, we’ll discuss that issue later. You are such a baby,” Kinky said. “Nance, on Saturday, November the 29th, we, I mean, I am going to sign calendars at my friends, “Murder By The Book” store in Houston at 5:00! And then, on Sunday, the 30th, we are going to sign calendars at the Barnes & Noble Town & Country store in Houston, at 2:00!”
“Kinky, this is incredibly great news! I cannot believe it. The calendars are going to be selling like hot cakes! I’ll bet you that we are going to sell out of our calendars—fast!”
“I know!” Kinky said. “Now Nance, here is the last of my exciting news, “I’ve talked to Allison at Book People, in Austin, and she wants to talk to you, about us doing a calendar signing in December! She wants you to call her. Here’s her phone number...”

Fay Guess who's birthday is listed in our 2009 calendar—Dwight's!
