"There be books here..."

Well the blessed moment has arrived as Jennifer, our office manager and I, unloaded 44 boxes of books at the local Storage USA facility here in Arlington. It is always exciting to tear open that first carton and see the books sitting there...kinda like Christmas morning.

The road to this point was tough going at times. DrD and I had to balance the usual responsibilities at the office and at home, but we believed in the project and the folks at Jones and Bartlett were very supportive.

One of the most amusing issues was picking the cover color scheme. The initial cover looked like this:


Although DrD liked the brown, we had a straw poll here in the office and then went through pink, peach and mauve before settling on the blue which everyone seemed pretty happy with in the end.

So now it is up to you, dear reader, to go forth and purchase this book or just keep reading this blog and spend your $17.95 at Starbucks instead. It wont hurt my feelings, although I don't know how my Mother will take the news and at age 84 she is getting a bit frail...

I remain open to all comments and suggestions. If there are questions that were not included, please feel free to post them at the INCIID bulletin board and I will chime in with my $0.02 worth...just remember that free advice is worth what you pay for it...
