The Netherlands

If the rain in New York City holds off, Sarah and I are leaving for the Netherlands this afternoon. we'll be there for a week, enjoying ourselves and also touring on behalf my new book, 19 KEER KATHERINE. I'm sure there will be many videographic portraits of this trip over at Brotherhood 2.0 (and probably cross-posted here).

If you are in the Netherlands, you should try to come see me! UPDATE: I don't really have any public events (all meetings and school visits and interviews), but I do have a spare hour for coffee: more info at brotherhood2.0.

Related: For the next week, I will probably not be answering very many emails. I mean, not that I am Solid Gold about answering emails in ordinary situations. But I will be particularly not solid gold for the next little while.

And finally: How about that season finale of The Office? Team Pam's faith in Pam has been vindicated, and now even Claire Zulkey has to admit that Pam has grown a pair. I wonder if old Rob has come around yet.

Have fun and be safe!

By the way, I'm calling all nerd fighters to contribute to the Brotherhood 2.0 article I'm writing.

Let me know if you, Hank, or any of the siblings, parents, mathematicians, and wizards want to add a little something, a quote or two.

I used to live in the Netherlands as a kid. I will be watching for sure!

Be sure to eat some pannekoeken.

Have a safe trip! My mother-in-law is from the Netherlands. If you run into trouble, email me. She has a ton of family over there (who speak fluent Dutch.)

PS. How nice of you to refer to your wife by her given name instead of a hairy mystery beast who may-or-may-not exist. Hee.

to Netherlanders: from the taxi, John advises that he will post his schedule when he arrives and see it in final form. He's sure there are some public events. The tour part starts Monday... Sunday is his day with the Yeti and is sacred.

But John, how does one get you to come to their school/library for one of these visits? (In the U.S. I mean.)
