It has been a long but good day here in Woodstock, GA. We got up early and had the kids dig into their stockings. Then, once family had arrived from far and wide, we got busy opening what looked like just an obscene amount of gifts (there are, after all, eighteen people involved). After a great breakfast, a few of the menfolk (mostly) headed downstairs to package up copies of my book to be sent all around the world.
That’s my brother-in-law Rick checking labels against the spreadsheet, me stuffing books into envelopes, my brother-in-law Justin putting the 3 cent stamps on, my dad putting on the rest of the stamps, and my brother-in-law Pat writing “Media Mail” in hundreds of envelopes. It wasn’t fun work, but we had a good time. Or I did, anyways.
We got most of the tough work done and it remains just to take all of those books to the post office tomorrow.
Anyways, from my clan to yours, have a very Merry Christmas…

That probably would have been a great time to use MS SQL Server. Ah, maybe its just the DBA in me.

That’s a great assembly line operation every author could wish for! The timing of your book’s release was great—you were able to get some helping hands at a key time.

So the work table is a pile of sheetrock and the chairs are five gallon buckets of “mud”. And the “menfolk” are all working diligently together! Don’t know what that says to all those receiving your book in the mail, but if there’s some white dust on their cover when you receive it, they shouldn’t worry about it.

Am I the only reader who’d like to know who’s who in this photo, down to the babes?
Just that weird connection you feel with blogs you read regularly where you think you know the guy. Plus, I’m nosey.
Beautiful, blessed family.
