"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."
Not a bad day. Not an unproductive day. And it was sunny and warm. Our high was 79˚F, and it is currently still 78˚F. Two of my office windows are open.
That said, I hardly slept again last night, so it's sort of a miracle that today was a good day.
I got some pale' writing done this morning, and then I did prep on Winifred for a while. Then I watched a really excellent PBS documentary on Voyager I and II, 1971 to 2012. Oh, and the mail brought me two copies of the lettered editor of The Variegated Alphabet, which is my first look at this edition.
Which reminds me, as I said yesterday....
Aside from eBay, here's this other thing I'm doing. Subterranean Press has very generously given me ten copies of The Variegated Alphabet to offer for sale. Not auction, sale. This book, you will remember, was sold out before publication, including all copies of the $600 lettered edition. Yeah, that kind of amazes me, but it's true. Anyway, these ten are PC* copies of the signed and numbered edition, illustrated by John Kenn Mortensen. I am selling these ten copies for $200/ea. This will mostly go to pay this year's income taxes. If you are interested, please write to Kathryn at dreamingsquid@gmail.com and tell her. Don't tell me; I'll just forget. Email Kathryn and she'll take care of you.
I think we still have eight copies left. I think.
There's also the usual eBay auctions, so please have a look at those. Thank you.
