It’s a perfect day to begin a driving tour of New England. First stop: South Hadley, MA, where the temperature at the start time of tonight’s reading is expected to be a pleasant 97 degrees. I’ve checked in advance with the Odyssey Bookshop, and they report that their AC is top-notch. So come on down…

On a related note, I’ll be channeling Johnny Cash for the rest of the month, with readings throughout New England. (I’m also planning on going to this weekend’s Sea Dogs games, if there’s anyone else who’ll be at Hadlock Field.) I’m going to explore doing regular updates after each night’s appearance. That means I’m expecting the crazies to show up in impressive numbers. Please don’t disappoint.
