That's cool. Jason is slightly more envious than I, though.
I got to meet Bernd Heinrich at a book signing at my favorite indy book store last spring. He's an incredible naturalist and has had articles in National Geographic. I own a ton of his books, and it was really cool to get one signed. He did a reading from his newest book, then did a Q&A thing, and then the actual book signing. I told him he was one of my two favorite naturalists and he asked me who the other one was. When I told him it was Gerald Durrell, his eyes lit up and and he said "Oh, I love his books! I read them when I was growing up!" And we grinned at each other. Just a neat moment.
