Yes. I got my bustle in a hustle this morning and got walking early. It was lovely.

LOVE the Tim Sample shout-out! 😀 Come back to the Northeast, Nathan – I’ll take you out for some of the best seafood you’ve ever had. 😀
Woah, wait a second. There are people that don’t like Judas Priest!? I have to admit I’m a bit of a Gaga fan myself (my wife’s influence).
Also I’m glad to hear that you are thinking more on the Ridan situation. Wait and see mode can only go on for so long. I think action, one way or another, will do you good.
Hi Nathan,
Regarding the books in Denver, is there anyway you can have them shipped to you? Perhaps if you emailed the bookstore a prepaid UPS or USPS shipping label?
It seems a bit pretentious(?) to say I’ll support whatever decision you want to make regarding Ridan, but that is the case.
I’m really just looking for a good excuse (and opportunity) to run down to Denver for the day 🙂
Ah, well in that case….!
Oh, and thanks for the “books” link! Finding “Imhoetap” phonetcially on Amazon turned out to be bit of a challange!
I’m thinking there’s hope that the books in Denver have ended up sold.
The Amazon lending thing seemed to be only for books that the publisher approves to be lent. I have bought some books from both Amazon and Barnes and Noble that are lending enabled. Most are not. I found EbookFling.com where I can post my books and people can request to borrow them. I get a point for each book borrowed that I can in turn use to borrow a book. I’m wondering if the selection from Amazon is similar or if indeed they do lend from their whole selection of books. If they do not, then I doubt if many would bother with it.
Did you know that at least some books, yours included, have a limit on the number of times they can be loaned? That makes sense, but I was unaware of it until I exceeded that limit at Amazon.
A while back you mentioned the waiting line for ebooks at the library. I’m currently about 140 of 160 on a book where they have maybe 30 copies. For me that has been very unusual. Most books I’ve gotten within a month and I estimate it has been quicker than the wait for the hard copy of a similar book. Some books are available only in audiobook. Recently I wanted “The Poisonwood Bible” and they had only audio. I chose to pay the $10 for ebook, because a friend had given a strong recommendation. She was right and I’m glad I paid it. That book just seemed like a better book to read print. I got another one recently in audio which is fine for listening. The bio of Franklin by Isaacson was just too expensive, not at the elibrary, so I got the hard cover, 10 pound edition from the library.
I said all that to promote those books and also to say that elibrary, in my estimation, is well worth the bother. In fact, I pay $135 a year for it, because it is out of my county. But elibrary is not always the answer and does require flexibility. And breaking my rule of only $5 or less ebooks is sometimes necessary and worth it.
