It was great to share book signings with my family and friends who joined me for two events in Southern California. The first was Friday, March 23 at the USC Bookstore in Los Angeles.

A lighter moment with cousins Estelle and Bill Reich
It was a treat to hang out with students and my cousins from L.A. Then we headed south to San Diego via Amtrak, and along the way our train stopped at Angel Stadium, home of the Big A, which now stands for Albert, as in Pujols.
The Big A
Most baseball experts predict the Angels are on track to win it all this year. With the addition of Pujols and pitcher C.J. Wilson, they are the prohibitive favorites to capture the flag, but anything can happen and that’s why they play 162 games (just ask the Phillies who were the pre-season faves in 2011, but they could not stop the Cardinals).
The next book signing was March 24 at Barnes & Noble in La Mesa, where I met up with some of Matt’s high school friends – all living now in San Diego.
With Emily, Taylor and Blake in San Diego
Next stop on the book tour is back in NorCal, at the Barnes & Noble store in Walnut Creek on Saturday, April 14 at 2 p.m.
