Do what you have to do, no worries here. Hope all is alright in Chicago.

I was sorry to read about that and I hope everything turns out okay. We'll keep the Sauvignon Blanc and beer cold until next time you can make it to Los Angeles.

Usually wrong.
But it's not the same as The Netherworld, right? I always daydreamed in school during the geography lessons. Boy was I shocked when we took a trip to New York City and it was in New England, of all places. I always pictured it as midway between Chicago and Boston. Good thing the airline knew the way there.
you know, what bad joke comes to mind immediately, do you?
You have no idea how many New Englanders you just pissed off. ;)

yeah, pretty bummed we didn't get to come down - was looking forward to trying to meet up with joan as well (i got a letter from her today; she says that her computer is still down and she wanted me to say hello to buk.net for her).
everything is okay, thankfully: our 9-month old niece had a kidney containing a large, malignant tumour removed last week, we flew back to chicago to await the prognosis with our family. she's got the best possible odds for someone with cancer - the tumour was completely contained and it was stage one, so all traces appear to be gone and she won't need chemo/radiation in the foreseeable future. she is a very tough little monkey.
we spent pretty much two solid days travelling and two whole days in a hospital room, so we're pretty tired now.
hank solo: when we were putting the books into the mailers, i told jordan not to forget that i needed to include the GPP postcards for some people, but i couldn't find the whole list. i think he put one in with yours, but it wasn't actually completed - i meant to secure the tissue overlay a bit better, since those brads are kind of shit.
Well that sounds good re the prognosis. 9 months old? That must be tough on your family. I hope things continue to go well.
And yes, the card was sent over too. Thanks for remembering! So this is the original NZ state? Cool :D.

my wife works in a children's hospital and I told her about your niece and the prognosis and she was very positive about the whole thing. she said everything pointed to a very happy future.
the words kids and cancer should never come up in the same sentence. it seems unfair somehow. glad things look good.
take your time sending the books out, there's no rush.

I see your point. and obviously you're right.
but, no matter what age - the Only way, the word 'cancer' SHOULD come up Ever, is in horoscopes or restaurants.
Glad to hear she is a tough little monkey. That's good news.

Hi J & J, glad to hear that all seems to be OK. There's nothing more harrowing than a child being sick ... especially something that serious.
Hearing the rave reviews from those who have received A Common Thread has me eagerly anticipating my copy (well, copies, actually, it sounded so good I ordered two extras!)
All my best, Harry

Did I ever mention I live in a town at the end of all postal and delivery routes? It's a good thing to have patience. You guys are making me get a little anxious. It will be great.
Hey J&J, how's marital bliss? ...and all while publishing a book. That's strong, strong like bull.

i put a few up on facebook, but the slideshow includes photos from our exchanging of vows which i feel is a bit to private to put up on a public forum like this, but i'm happy to email you both with the link, david and ponder. they're not professional photos - just taken by my bro-in-law on our camera, and some of them are pretty blurry.

I gotta say you two look damned happy. Nice photos.

it was an amazing day!
okay, so we have signed up for twitter: this will work great as an RSS feed for quick updates on how current projects are going, or new projects we're beginning work on. i've also realised what a huge market it opens us up to - i mean, i typed 'chapbook' into the search engine and then went through picking people from that search result who might be interested in our press to follow.
you can find us at: www.twitter.com/chancepress
i think you can get the RSS feed without actually signing up for an account BUT signing up only takes a few seconds.
