I absolutely will. I'm really excited about it. But my stamina is waning with this 1000 page monster I'm currently in.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm in. When does summer start? I've never read Moby Dick, though Melville does have Albany roots. There's a little park with a historical marker about him. Well, I suppose it's not really a park, since I believe it is inaccessible to humans. More like a fenced-in stand of trees between a bus stop and a pub. But a popular bus stop, and a beloved pub. Albany knows how to honor its favorite son, who lived here for a few years
