\nWhile I usually take Owen out to the corner drug store on Fridays, I had to change it up a bit this week, due to a college obligation today. So, back on Wednesday, after picking Owen up from school, he and I muscled up to the ice cream fountain. While he licked his dessert and played the peg game<\/a>, I snapped this picture:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLook! How cool is that? There’s The 2013 Saint Paul Almanac<\/a><\/em> on its very own display and up for sale. Just before I took this picture, Owen had to take\u00a0one of the books off the rack and open to the page with his picture. (Yes, it’s true, there’s a picture of Owen accompanying one of my stories. Jennifer took the picture. Thus, three members of our family are referenced on one page of the\u00a0almanac and, yes, Isla noticed she’s not included.) He showed the soda jerk <\/a>his picture, and she said, “Wow, that’s cool!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile: Today I stopped at the public library to return two books and pick up two more. And, while there, I just had to stop in the 211 section and take this picture:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLook! How cool is this? There’s a copy of Atheist Voices of Minnesota <\/a><\/em>on the shelf at 211.8092 right where it belongs, near The God Delusion<\/a>, The Agnostic Reader<\/a>, The Loser Letters\u00a0<\/a><\/em>and\u00a0Science versus Religion<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Of course, it also has some pretty shady company, too, but I don’t care: the cool thing is that some of my writing is out there: at the corner drug store and the local library.<\/p>\n

Thanks for indulging my narcissism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
