Yesterday, the copies of THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor arrived at my home. It felt just like when I brought my own babies into the world and home for the first time. I was shaking as I opened the big box and took out the first copy. It felt like I had dreamed it would. Holding the book and seeing it for the first time caused a flood of emotions. For the first time it was not just faith in the possibility of the book, but a real live physical reality. I felt an energy in my fingertips as I picked up the book for the first time. Outskirts Press did a wonderful job in the production of the book; it is beautiful inside and out. I cried and hugged the book.
Now, I must read it from cover to cover and see if I pick up any errors, or if there is anything that I would like to see changed. And I must work on marketing the book which I will probably be doing for the rest of my life.
Thank you for going through this process with me; it really helped to have you to talk to.
William is steadily getting better although his voice is still raspy from having a tube down his throat for so long. My granddaughter from Iowa, Lindsey Hirsch, is ending her visit by visiting the Philadelphia Zoo today. Tomorrow morning at 5:30 a.m. she boards the airplane for a return trip to south-east Iowa. It has been very interesting having her here. I have learned a lot about her. She is strong willed but co-operative, very intelligent and an awesome reader. Definitely her father's daughter. I am very proud of her. She just graduated from High School last month and plans to enter the Peace Corp before going on to college. She wants to go to Africa and help build water supplies and help the people there to improve their agriculture.
David is worn out. Between William being in the hospital and critical for so long and then having Lindsey that he was determined to show the wonders of the East Coast to, he has been running with no days off for over three weeks now. He showed Lindsey New York City and took her on a tour of old Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall. So David is going to be resting this week-end.
I turn 69 this month and am too tired to celebrate it especially. On Tuesday, David is going to take me out to dinner. I asked him not to buy me a present this year because he has spent a fortune on all of us over this last three weeks, and enough is enough. Besides, I am only one year away from my big 70th, and I just want to enjoy this year as I suspect it could be a change-your-life year.
I'm a little worried about William going to the Philadelphia Zoo today. He is still pretty weak, and since we have no idea what brings on his life-threatening illness, we will always be looking at him and waiting for symptoms to appear. At least he will be near CHOP while he is at the zoo, so David can get help for him in a short time. David plans to take William around in a wheel chair so that his strength is not sapped.
Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you have some fun and some rest. We will be back on Monday morning with, I hope, some new and fresh ideas for you.
