Bill Cosby to appear at Nicola's Books
Entertainment and community-service icon Bill Cosby will appear at Nicola's Books in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, the story announced today.
Cosby will sign copies of his new book, "I Didn't Ask to be Born, But I'm Glad I Was," a collection of humorous anecdotes. The store will have copies of the book on sale for Cosby to sign.
The appearance is schedule to be a signing only, with no reading or other presentation. He will only be signing the new book, according to the announcement.
The event is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Nicola's, in the Westgate shopping plaza at Jackson and Maple roads. Line tickets to reserve a spot in line may be obtained by calling the store at 734-662-0600.
The book, released earlier this month, has been generating a positive response. Publishers Weekly wrote in a review that the essays are "written with the amiable and accessible lightweight lilt Cosby's eager readers expect."

I have found him to be one of my iconic heroes. Too bad I can't make it. Wish I could. Plus this drive is too far for me. O well. Maybe he might find his way near Canton.

heh .... "the story announced today." And there, folks, is the difference between a "spell checker" and an editor.

DBH, at some point you'll find you're living in a glass house.

I (and I think all of us) have been living in a glass house all of my life. I call it my conscience.

I have a few heroes myself, but none of them are admitted adulterers.

Sorry, ERMG, you presume incorrectly. Your presumption that I "...find 'admitted adulterers' to be more despicable then the run-in-the-mill [sic] sort of adulterer" is not a logical conclusion. Read my reply again. If you can't follow the logic (it's actually pretty straightforward) well, I regret that. It is still valid. "Run-in-the-mill"? Really? Sounds like a dangerous activity to me.

You used the adjective "admitted" to modify the noun "adulterer". One presumes, then, that your find "admitted adulterers" to be more despicable then the run-in-the-mill sort of adulterer. Personally, my heroes are those people who can write and speak properly the English language. GN&GL

ERMG, the logical derivative from my statement is that my heroes are not admitted adulterers. They could be adulterers but haven't admitted it, or they could be nonadulterers. To my knowledge, none of my few heroes have committed adultery, admittedly or not. Thanks for asking, though. Glad I could clarify that for you.

So I presume, then, that they are adulterers who haven't admitted it? Good Night and Good Luck

Very cool. I wonder if he'd be up for a game of buck-buck.
