No, I'm not leaving for an extended period of time. Stop booing. Anyway, I'm not really sure if I've posted about this book before but, just to serve as a reminder, I'll fill you in. Outbound Flight was published two or three years ago. Written by Timothy Zahn, it records details of the Outbound Flight project. Outbound Flight is meant to travel to the unknown regions at the edge of the known universe. It also deals with Jorj Car'das and Mitth'raw'nuruodo. Did I mention this was a Star Wars book? Just in case you wanted to read it yourself, I won't tell y'all the entire plot. You may be asking yourself: "Why am I still reading this?" or "What does this have to you with me?" In response to those questions, my answer is, "I have no idea!"
In my opinion, Timothy Zahn is the best Star Wars novel author ever. He's written a number of other Star Wars books, all of which I have read except for one that I am saving until June. Books smell better than old Taco Bell. Some of my friends up in Oregon knew that I liked Timothy Zahn and they also knew that he lived not more than an hour south of them. They knew this because one of their friends went to church with Timothy Zahn!!!!! My friends went to a small college thing where Timothy Zahn was speaking and they got one of their books signed but I hadn't sent mine yet. I finally sent it and they looked for another opportunity to have him autograph my book. Finally, last Sunday, my friend went to Timothy Zahn's church, sat in a Sunday School class taught by Timothy Zahn, and GOT MY BOOK SIGNED!!!!!!! I was extremely stoked when I received my package in the mail. Here are some pictures:
While I have y'all here, I'd also like to say that we had a blast in Tahoe. The skiing was amazing and so was the eating, wii playing, and Emily seeing. Until next time.

Well, I for one am quite happy for you. Pretty nice friends you've got up there. Timothy Zahn that is. :) Tahoe WAS great!
I must say that I did not have a clue who you were talking about. But having an autographed book by him is pretty cool.

Of course, I have heard of Zahn and have even read some of his stuff, although I cannot name one right now. However, I did see a job offer of the web to autograph books for a Star Wars author (after all, few would know the difference) so he would have more time to write. I bet it was Zahn!?! OK, maybe I made the last part up.
