Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Babies!

As you no doubt know, I'll be reading and signing books on Saturday, May 12, 2007 from 12:30 - 2 pm at the BABY AND KIDS EXPO in York, PA. Now, I'm reason alone to attend this fine event. However, if you need an additional reason to go (and arrive early), look no farther:

"Get ready, get set and crawl! Memorial Hospital is sponsoring its second annual Diaper Derby as part of the Baby and Kids Expo on Saturday, May 12 at the York Expo Center (Memorial Hall East).The Derby will begin at 11 a.m. During the Derby, children will compete by crawling from one end of a mat to the other. There will be co-ed heats of five to 10 children.The derby is open to children who are 13 months old or younger as of May 12 and are not yet walking.The winner will receive a $100 savings bond. Pre-registration is required and participation is limited to the first 100 children. The official rules and entry form can be found atwww.mhyork.org under the Baby and Kids Expo link."

Yup, a Diaper Derby, then me and my books. How very "Puppet Show and Spinal Tap" is that?

Of course, if anyone can loan me a baby, I'm game to enter. I mean, come on - a hundred dollar savings bond? That's worth pitting your youngster Pamper-to-Pamper, right?

And may the best bottom win!

intellectual jargon is thick — and then Omega Watches UK comes a crystalline phrase, a

perfectly polished insight.

Communist regimes Dior Watches Sale require people to “live

within a lie,” demanding IWC Replica Watches dehumanizing rituals of

loyalty. He describes his country as Omega Hour Vision

plastered with slogans but lacking in genuine belief. “Each person,” he says, “somehow succumbs to a profane trivialization of his

inherent humanity.” They drift together “down the river of pseudolife.”

Yet in a society ruled by D & G Watches Sale lies, truth gains a

“singular, explosive, incalculable political power.” The desire to live authentically is the equivalent of a cartier replica watches fifth column — a revolution hidden in a whole

society. Truth advances in a political speech, in a hunger strike, in a play, in a song. “It is a bacteriological weapon, so to speak,

” Omega De Ville says Havel, “utilized when conditions are ripe

by a single civilian to disarm an entire division.” Havel was a historical prophet of the first order — and the fulfillment of his own

prophesy.
