Second—and final, I think—NYC marathon completed. Just an experience like nothing else. If you happen to see me today, please be somewhat careful; if you even slightly bump into me I may shatter into millions of pieces.

If you're in the DC area, come out to Wonderland Books in Bethesda, tonight, 7 p.m. ET, July 30. We'll talk LLOYD MCNEIL'S LAST RIDE and sports things, and you can yell at me for apparently not liking the new NAKED GUN movie as much as everyone else. Also, there is air conditioning. Come on out!

I am very happy with how this book turned out, and I think you will be too. It is my attempt to wrestle with what it's like being a parent right now and not knowing what sort of world we're leaving for our children. Of doing your best to protect them, and guide them, while you can.

There was no way I wasn't getting Frank in there. I still remember Ralph Wiley getting me VERY excited about him. www.espn.com/page2/s/wile...
