My Day in the Limelight

Andy Warhol famously said that in the future everyone would have 15 minutes of fame. Mine comes each year when the Farmers’ Almanac is released. On Monday morning I “bounced” out of bed at the leisurely hour of 3:15 a.m., and headed straight to the Cumberland Club in Portland, Maine, where we’d arranged for a satellite truck to hook us up with a host of interviewers around the country.

From there, Mickey Youmans of Farmers’ Almanac TV and I were able to talk about the 2008 edition, the newest development with FATV, and about our new interactive website to audiences in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Birmingham, Albuquerque, New York City, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Washington DC, and Boston, to name just a few.

Manging Editor Sandi and I were also interviewed for pieces in newspapers throughout the country, most notably by the Associated Press, which feeds its content to more than 1,700 U.S. newspapers.

Don’t worry if you missed the publicity storm, though. The real excitement is in the pages of this year’s Farmers’ Almanac. You can pick yours up at any one of dozens of bookstore or discount department store chains, as well as right here on the Web <http://store.farmersalmanac.com/category/283>.

Enjoy!
