The book must be selling... both Amazon and Barnes/Noble have it back-ordered for two weeks. Several folk who have read it have submitted "nitpicky" (their term) improvements on factoids; but people seem to like it. The Forbes.com review by Geo Anders was especially nice.
Last night Jenny hosted her longtime women professionals group here; I did my flower arranging and had a ball doing it. Found three dozen long-stemmed David Austin roses at the Ladera Nursery; spectacular! if I do say so.
And then today all the gals went to a spa for mudbaths and facials and stuff, so I had a "free day". I climbed on a short stepladder to saw down a big limb on an oak tree in the "back forty" and just before I saw'd thru it, the ladder collapsed, and I tumbled like a hot rock. Ouch, as they say. After shrugging it off for about an hour, and then looking at it again (all swollen on my thigh, and throbbing), I thought, "well, maybe having it checked would be a good idea". But I forgot the book I wanted to read (you always have a long wait in the ER on Saturday, don't ask how I know this), so I came back home after getting halfway there, and got a book. Good thing, given the nearly three hour wait.
The really good news -- nothing broken, a massive hematoma, probably swell for another week, and I'll be "good as new" in less than a month, they averred. Dammitall, lots to do, but I am at the moment "taking it easy"
