the book

[Geoff Quickfall]

Hello all,

I missed this posting for the last little while. More on that later.

Walter:

Thanks for meeting me in Frankfurt, lunch, beer, conversation were wonderful! Your two texts on the 31 and 34 are perfect and have given me some great ideas on publishing.

Everyone:

I met Walter in September? And had lunch with him in Mainz. At that time I stated the book was very close to being done and probably would be ready for proofing in or at the new year. Hence Walters postings of late :-)

Unfortunately, as with projects of this nature, family got in the way. Suffice to say, and not looking for sympathy, a family illness (parent and dementia) has become a huge part of any free time. That combined with our 9 year old dog who was in perfect health decided epilepsy was the way to go. Both these things happened late September.

Anyone with a dog knows, if the dog doesn't sleep, no one does!

Without going into details, we are accepting the transition in the immediate family and the dog is finally stable; this occurring after months of tests, an adrenalectomy (thank heaven for pet insurance)...

So, yes the book is a few months away from completetion, but family and dog are coming first.

The new year looks better so a happy new year to all.

Walter, lunch again in Mainz in the summer, and then a copy of the completed book.

Cheers, Geoff
