50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

listen to your mother

Posted on 26 October, 2004 By Wil

“If you are specific about your goals, and put yourself in a place where your
good luck can do you some good, the universe will absolutely conspire to make
your dreams come true.”

— My Mom, when I was a little kid, at a time when I was actually paying attention.
You were right, Mom, about more stuff than you could possibly imagine. I love you.

    Jessie… yeah, see ya there. I wouldn’t want to miss his reading [again!]. I’ve been late to his other two here and have missed virtually all of his reading, but have been able to meet him for the signings.
    He said if I get there the 27th, I should be on time for the reading the 28th. [dates are still fuzzy for me, use caution.]

    Paul-
    my suggestion: call the barnes and noble (or whatever it was) in huntington beach and ask them, they should know. although a week before wil came to my Borders i had no idea he was coming. a customer told me. hopefully the barnes and noble employees are better informed lol

    It’s amazing how just a few words can give you a surge of emotion. That was so beautiful. Great entry, Wil!
