Hey Mog, where exactly is this house of which you speak? (Or is this just a MogtheDog jest?)

Robert M BlevinsJust outside of Seattle. We have a house, and for the offices we lease a sort of off-the-beaten-path two story condo.
I haven't stopped by in a long time. It's been quite a year, I'll admit. Our next release on March 20 is 'Into The Blast - The True Story of D.B. Cooper'. It's non-fiction.

Dear Phil,
I've not yet made my way up into that neck-o-the-woods, so I cannot say exactly where I might discover said house; but as soon as I do find myself in Allendale, I'm certain the fine folks up there will point me in the right direction.
If the weather holds up as nicely as it has all week, I foresee myself overcoming my fears enough to enjoy a short road trip this weekend.
Until then,
MTD

I wish! Unfortunately, she is in the final stages of completing her thesis project for a master's degree and will be booked solid this weekend. The best I can hope for is a little jaunt up to Allendale.

Why, you're a mere 37 miles from me - I'm currently located in Largo, MD. If you ever make your way down there, I'll show you my Bradbury collection, which includes many signed first-edition hardcovers, along with various and sundry stuffs!

If my pen and I were ever on that side of the world, I would not miss that opportunity!
To rob you of course!

Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
