Some cool book came out today. Maybe you have heard of it? Oh...and a picture of a bird.

The day has finally come, after years of dreaming, planning, writing, waiting...
C.C. Pyle's Amazing Foot Race is now on the shelves in bookstores.
We met Swami, Swamette, Kevin, Rachel, my Mom and Ramona (a friend of hers) at Red Robin right next to the big Barne's & Noble's.
Geoff signed Ramona's copy that she had bought earlier today.

Red Robin has very good wraps...I had a Chicken Caesar Spinach Wrap, which I actually liked. (People who know me IRL know that I don't go for green food usually)
After dinner, we all walked over the the B&N, and there it was:




Author and his brainchild


There it is! It's real and everything.

Isabelle occupied herself with a huge book about the ocean.
(She wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up)

We caused quite a ruckus in the store...

My Mom, who is as much of a HAM as I am, acted like she had just discovered the book and made a huge fuss about it. It was hilarious.
Geoff looked like he wanted to crawl under the floor, he was so embarrassed.
Too bad, Baby-cakes. We're proud and we're loud.


Lorelei loves to look inside the back cover and find "Daddy's" picture.


She's a HAM, too.
The apple never fell off the tree, know what I mean?


After that, it was over to Coldstone Creamery. I had never had it before. How have I lived for 34 years and NOT had this? It was delicious. Pretty much ruined my healthy choice of a spinach wrap from dinner.

So, if you read this blog and haven't bought Geoff's book yet, here's a link to it on Amazon, but you can also just get in your car and go to a store.
Hey. I'm married to a real author!
I just listened to Geoff do a radio interview on a station in Albuquerque, NM...he did a fantastic job. Made me want to go buy a book.

So now, it's all about checking the sales ranking on Amazon, doing book signings, preparing for greatness.
You did it, Geoff!!!!!!! I love you very, very much.

And since this is supposed to be a birding blog of sorts, here's a picture of a bird who came to the feeders today:

Huh. An Eastern Towhee. I was amazed when I saw it, because I have never, ever seen one here in the summer. We only get them in the winter. I was more amazed to see in my Birds of Ohio that they are here year-round, so there's probably at least one nesting pair nearby. Huh.
