Creek Running North

Whew!

Hey, Kathy, tell Buddy and Cora to email me and we’ll arrange the book signing-cum-hike.

For people not in the Bay Area (and, in a couple months, the desert), signing will be a little harder to arrange. It’s a downside of going with Lulu: author copies are kinda hard to come by, which means jason’s idea of buying the book, and sending it along with a post-paid return envelope is the smoothest way for me to sign your book. Kinda overly complex.

Lack of a multi-million-dollar promotions budget is another downside. So tell your friends.

(Connie, look for email.)

I’m thrilled to say mine arrived yesterday.

Overly complex?  Perhaps.  But worth it, methinks.  You can expect mine to arrive in short order.

And most importantly, Chris, thank you for taking the time to offer your personal touch to this meaningful writ.  When you’re rich and famous, we can open to your handwritten missive and say “We knew him when...”

chris, i suddenly have a full house—daughter home from college on break, son back home because he is sick, on top of the recent kittens we meant to foster so they’d become adoptable, but they stayed a little too feral so i just adopted them.  the last few weeks, little spotty, one of the 7-month feral babies, has gotten lame in ways that reminded me of zeke’s arthritis.  guess we are in for some kind of a ride, as we sort this out.

i finished the book last night, watching the adopted babies wrestle one another at 4 a.m.  thank you!  your story of zeke is so powerful.

ze pups would love to see you sometime!  if you want.  i’ll be in touch when things settle down a little bit.
