Oh, goodness - the very last reading in a series of readings by Susan Fox Rogers, author of what ended up being one of my favorite books of 2011, is coming up this Saturday, January 28th at the Beczak Environmental Education Center's in Yonkers. Her reading will be the first of the center's monthly RiverTalks in 2012.

I'm so glad that I made it to her reading in Brooklyn - this one's going to be even better, she's the sole presenter of the evening, they'll be serving Hudson River wines and cheeses, and all my friends from Yonkers will be there. Aeriously, if you live anywhere within a reasonable travel distance, you're not a kayaker already, and you've ever thought you might like to be one, you absolutely owe it to yourself to go to this thing, listen to the talk and then see if you can introduce yourself to some of the nice folks from the Yonkers Paddling and
I was actually trying to figure out if there was a way I could go myself. It would have taken a borderline weaselly move on my part, only I did myself in (or spared myself from being tempted into weasellitude, depending on how you look at it) last week on Facebook when a blogging friend messaged me asking if I was going to either this one or Jessica DuLong's reading on Monday (another event worth attending, My River Chronicles is another really good book), and I blithely replied,

Of course simply making a comment like that rendered all such considerations moot - that's right, I accept at least part of the blame for the Saturday snowstorm, saying something like that is about as close to doing a magical snowbringing dance as a person can get while clickety-clicking away at a computer. Worked great, didn't it?
