red letter on a gray day

So it's not Monday, and I'm not really even feeling down, but it is raining and mornings like this make a body want to get back under the covers and put Karen Carpenter on repeat.

BUT as this body is expected to be a productive member of society, contributing to the GNP regardless of nasty weather, am instead under piles of paperwork and listening to shop talk. Almost the same, right?

Let's not waste anymore time getting to the good stuff, though. I have a sorta exciting announcement. The Fish Blog is going to be quoted in a real life, published-by-a-big-publishing-house book! Got the news a few days ago, but have made the agreement not to pimp out the book until the Author comes through on his promise to send me a fee copy. But boy howdy, as soon as spring rolls around and that baby is out on shelves, you bet I'll be out pimping! The quote comes complete with the Fish's real name. If that's not a selling point, I don't what is. You must all simply promise not to sell, lend or mention the existence of this book to my mother.

Champagne anyone? Oh, it's too early? Fine, herbal tea?

That is really great.
I just discovered your site and already bookmarked it because I was instantly absorbed by the way you write.

Oh, and if you ever need advice on how to deal with your mother, ask my bubby.

have a good day.

Wah-hoo!

Do you know which other blogs are in it? Or would that be telling pimping?

stupid fingers.

To my knowldege, there are no other blogs in it. It's a book about relationships and the quote is being used as an epigram.

I'll drink this cup of chai in your honor.

No better news could be received on a Monday! How about champagne cognac on icecream?! Very thrilling news fish, and can't wait to hear. Is it Random House?
