If you're looking for some fun tonight, I jealously point you toward Ukazoo Books for their Haiku Review at 7. Signup starts at 6:45, so go make a date of it. Meanwhile, I will be at work, writing poetry to my co-workers in between headlines and the like.

Saturday afternoon, you can join the gang at Constellation Books for tea with authors Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine to discuss Morris' The Case of the Pitcher's Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery and Ballantine's Digital Magic. And there will be cookies! Win-win, I tell you.

Head to Annapolis Sunday afternoon to catch Nancy Whitney-Reiter, author of Unplugged: How to Disconnect from the Rat Race, Have an Existential Crisis, and Find Meaning and Fulfillment, before she moves on to Asheville, N.C. And if you do, tell her to check out Salsas in downtown Asheville; their empanadas are amazing.

And if you want more science fiction in your life, the Baltimore Science Fiction Society and the Lutherville Borders science fiction book club both meet Wednesday evening. Go forth, live long and prosper.
