I missed the book signing today...
I had to get up early, so I could get to work early, so I could leave work early, so I wouldn't be late. When my departure time from work hit I was OUT of there like a vampire from sunlight. I basically sped all the way over to my friend's apartment (since I talked him into coming with me so my drive would be less boring) and picked him up. We were about 15 miles out of Springfield when I though my car was making odd noises. I asked my friend if my car sounded funny and not five minutes later my driver's side tire blows out. I mean, big-f'n-hole-in-my-tire blows out. So, I missed my book signing. I was looking forward to getting to meet Jim all week.
I'm pretty bummed out, I just hope Jim does something locally again soon.
