The book...

Sorry, the book is the entire contents of this blog, basically up to when she passed away. Since the web site would eventually either go away or be deleted (due to no more activity)...I didn't want to lose everything that she wrote and all the comments people had made. Basically, it will be the entire blog from the beginning, in a book...I wanted to have it turned into a book, for Audrey. I also wrote some additional chapters of things that didn't get into the blog, that I felt pertinent to write down.

Regards,
Randy

What is going on !!???

[Randy Here]

It's been a while. No, it's been quite a while. Audrey is doing fine. Hi to the 3 people that will probably see this.

I've had some inquiries on the book: Still in progress. I've done several redlines at this point, and I'd say it is getting pretty close to print. I'm really hoping to have it buttoned up and available by end of calendar.

For those that have asked...I haven't made the decision whether to make the book publicly available or not. I just don't know until I see the final product and get some buy in from some key people. Of course, the book will be available to friends and family that would like a copy. I'm just not sure on general availability. I do recognize some might have concerns over content and I've tried to lessen some possible concerns, if it does go public: I have redlined out any email addresses and phone numbers that were in comments, etc. Other than that...not touching content. I left Julie's typos and all in there...I wanted it preserved as is, for Audrey.

I don't know if anyone is really interested in having a copy, so give me a heads up, in some fashion in the next month or so, if you are. I think I'll have 50 copies out of the chute (they were included in the publishing package), but I'll have to request more prints if I get more requests than that. Again, I don't know if anyone is really interested.
