Thank you all for your many gracious and lovely birthday notes. If not before, I'll see you Nov. 25; go to the Mercury's website and sign up to buy books, which is the way you get into this gathering. This is a deeply local and grand event, and I want to greet all of my friends and wish them well. Top shelf h***h, venison and shrimp. This will be downtown and all the details are on the website. --wretch

Greetings: The keys are: Sign up online to buy lots of book and then share this with your inner circle so that they can also get books and join you. Feel free to send me a PM if you have questions. Oh, the book cover sketch by Chris Snedeker will be available at silent auction. All proceeds from book and silent auction go to Quail Forever of the Lowcountry. --wretch
