Back home again. Returned from New York/ New Jersey yesterday.
It was a great trip, and an eventful one. More on all that shortly.
Oh, and for those still looking for autographed books… I hit the big B&N on Fifth Avenue and signed their stock of A DANCE WITH DRAGONS and other titles before leaving town. So that’s three locations in NYC that should have signed copies for the holidays. For as long as the supply lasts.

I dropped by there yesterrday, signed a couple boxes of DANCE hardcovers, and stacks of paperbacks of the other titles. Get yours while the supply lasts.
Lots of cool news to report but there’s no time. Parris and I are still in NYC and the days are full. I’ll try to catch up when I get home.

And by the way, if you’re not following HBO’s “Making Game of Thrones” site, you should be. They’ll be posting lots more goodies there in the weeks and months to come.

Well, the Jets eeked one out, defeating the Buffalo Bills to snap a two-game losing streak and keep alive some hope of making the playoffs.
It was a near thing, though, in a home game that I had expected they would win convincingly. Mark Sanchez threw four TD passes, a personal record, but despite that he looked anything but impressive, He also threw an INT, and at least two other balls that could and should have been intercepted. And the vaunted Jets D stopped the Bills on their last drive with less than a minute left in the game.,.. but that was deceptive two. Two different Bills receivers dropped game-winning TD passes on that drive, elsewise I would be gnashing my teeth and tearing out my hair right now.
Gang Green got lucky,
Luck never lasts in the NFL, however. The Jets really need to start playing much much better if they’re to have any hope to sneaking into the dance, let alone winning a playoff game.

So let’s all chip in and give Daniel a bald wife for Christmas. I understand there are some fabulous fantasy wigs out there.
