…before Major League Baseball releases a statement that they have outlawed tossing balls into the stands?

As of now, if you look at the sidebar under the cover for “The Camelot Papers,” you’ll see that you can order it off both Amazon and Nook by clicking on the link. We will also have the Print on Demand link up for you shortly, which is at the moment only available through createspace.com, but will be available through Amazon by this time next week.

I’ve listened to your comments and endeavored to keep the price at what seems a reasonable level. I’ve decided the list price will be $5.99 for the eBook. But as a special offer, for the first sixteen days (8 x 2) I’ll be keeping it at $4.99. The POD will have a flat price of $15.99.

Also, a number of people have raised the question of being able to lend the eBook to others who have electronic readers. This seems to be something of a hot button issue. After giving it a good deal of thought, I’ve decided that it’s important to me to have an eBook be as similar to a regular book as possible. So you’ll note that the eBook has unlimited simultaneous device usage and that I’ve enabled the lending function. Obviously I want to sell as many copies as possible, but lending books one-to-one is a time honored tradition and I’m disinclined to deprive readers of that opportunity.

And just to make things interesting: if you ARE planning to buy it, particularly off Amazon, try to do so around 4 PM Eastern Time (1 PM Pacific) Friday. Why? To see if we can kick it up the sales charts. If we get off to a fast start, it can have long-term ramifications.

Okay, people…get Crazy.

Since I posted, tentatively, that the Mets look like they’re turning things around, they have dropped three straight, their bats have gone cold, and Reyes pulled a hamstring.

This is all my fault.

UPDATED 7/3: A-HA! So I did a posting yesterday bemoaning how the Mets have reverted to form…and today they come back in the bottom of the ninth against just about the toughest closer in baseball and then win in the 10th. Okay, don’t tell me I’m not responsible. I cheer, they suck. I moan, they win. Maybe I shouldn’t say anything about them anymore.

Are now up at Crazy8.

…and know how to swing dance…or at least can fake it…please drop me an email at padguy@aol.com.

Thanks.

So Glenn Beck claims that he was harassed and wine deliberately spilled on his wife by nasty, vicious liberals while trying to watch a Hitchcock film in Central Park. Meanwhile the nasty, vicious liberal in question claims that no one was bothering him, his bodyguards were giving people crap, and the wine spillage was a complete accident (claims of innocence that appear to run counter to earlier twitter messages that conveyed hostility toward Beck on her part.)

As is typically the case, everyone is the hero (or victimized party) of their own anecdote. Of course, Beck has a much larger microphone to make his case. Still, as a vicious liberal, I have to say that there’s no excuse for harassing Beck at a general event. I disagree with what he has to say, but defend his right to say it and also his right to take some time off to enjoy life with his family.

Too bad it wasn’t a Kurosawa film festival, considering the “Rashomon” aspects of the incident.
