Congratulations! Many years ago I was co-author on a book, so I know
the pain.

I don't drink, but I can sure identify with the urge when you put the
final copy to bed!

Congratulations.

A close friend of mine is an author so I have more than an idea how damn
hard finishing a book that can be.

Let me know when I can catch you on TV when you're doing your book promo
tour.

Tom, what is the book about, exactly?

And, what kind of woodworking do you do? Neander classic or
machines, both? Cabinets and boxes? Chairs?

Do you have a website?

How does that work?

"...on which I've spent so much time."? <chortle>


>I am now moderately drunk, having had two full glasses of champagne.

Are those like the 16oz bubble glasses I got out when I was 16 and
my parents said we could have ONE glass at midnight on NYE? I've long
rued the day I drank the half pint of stashed bourbon and guzzled a
pint of Napa Sonoma Mendocino wine on top of it. /s Ex-Drunk.
