Dirty Laundry

Counting Down

Just three weeks (yesterday) from book launch day.  I have to admit, as the time gets closer, I am getting very excited.  I expect large parades here in Vancouver once the book hits the shelves.  A nice fireworks display.  Acrobats.  Bundles of Balloons (biodegradable, please) wafting through the air.  People in cars honking their horns at me in celebration (at least, that’s how I’ll interpret it).  In short, once that book is released my life will be one big cacophony of New Year’s Eve horns and streamers and cake and candy and trumpeting trumpets and…

All right, so there probably won’t be a parade.  At least, nothing strictly planned.  But at least I’ll be all packed up from my move and nicely settled in temporary housing until the renovation on the new place is completed.  So there’ll be plenty of time to visit the stores and stare at the shelves where my book (hopefully) sits, with a big grin on my face. 

Much like the grin on Scooter’s face in the following picture (sans the hat, of course)
