Last week my youngest brother blessed us with a visit. He came to Upstate New York, the place of his birth, to promote his new book, Tabouli. You can read all about it and order a copy on this link.
Of course the end result of a family get together is always filled with music,
No time spent in this family would be right with out the liberal addition of children.
This little boy may look tired but he's really concentrating on learning to play Texas Hold 'Em.
Did I mention that there was beer?
And more music.
You cannot have a famous author in the house without doing an impromptu reading. (That's my brother with the charter members of his fan club.)
Nate is ready to be dealt a hand and given a pile of chips.
Even the four-legged family members enjoyed being read to.
But the real reason for the visit was for Matt to visit our local schools, both high and elementary, and a couple of public libraries to talk about Tabouli and introduce youngsters to the world of literature, ideas, and finding what makes them passionate.
