Brad....sounds like something any sane person could appreciate. I checked out the Inn out and walked the grounds with the owner. As I understand it, they open it Thursday and close it Sunday. Drive down from Los Altos Hills. Not a bad life. I'd like to book a couple nights there in the Spring and do just that.

The place looks nice....bring some steaks and BBQ on the room balcony looking over....the Balcony's.

So I was in NYC for a short bit this summer w/my kids. We hung out w/my ex-sister-in-law. Her roommate works for some big liquor distributor. My ex-SIL pulled out a bottle of wine and asked me if I had heard of it because "it was really good". It was a bottle of Chalone! Her roommate's company pimps for them. Small world.

Small world indeed. Is this when you tell me you drank it, pilfered all the Cherry, and puked on the shag rug?

Back on track. The printing company's employee is back (her son in OK now). The Smythe Sewing process starts first thing tomorrow morning. Three to five days to sew all the copies. Then, on go the covers. I may see an overnighted copy of the book in 7 days (I suspect a few more, though). Feeling like a kid on Christmas eve.

Let's hope you don't get coal in your stocking! Let me know when you get the word so I can camp out on your front door step and be in line to get one of the first 10 copies. ;D

This is slower than shit. Sewing is well underway and will be done this Friday. Then the covers go on. Monday is Canada's Thanksgiving (the printer I am using is in Canada). So, final binding (ie putting on the covers and cutting the corners round) will start Tuesday. I may receive the overnighted copies next week. Shipping of the great mass of books will take another week after that.

Just in time for X-Mas! Yea!
