It's too bad they're holding the event on Halloween weekend, not to mention during a critical UTEP game. Else I'd love to have gone.

I'll have to pick it up. I haven't bought Playboy since they interviewed Gabriel García Márquez back in the early 1980s. (That's why I read Playboy--the interviews!)

Gaspar Enriquez so what does it mean to be a fan?

Gaspar, oh to be a fan? It means you get bothersome facebook notes from CPP every time we got some news or an event is taking place or a new book is out or some such. You could do the same for your painting exhibitions. I'd be your fan. In fact, I am your fan. By the way, that facebook portrait of you: Is that a painting?

I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity. I won't forget Joe's kindness to each child, patiently smiling at them as they struggled to get the words out to tell him about the time he visited their school. The one little girl was so overcome she just hugged him tight! Thanks to the Bookery for making it possible!
