Woke up this morning to good news: we have a foreign sales agent for UPWARD DOG.
I love foreign sales because besides sharing the book with more people, it’s also pretty much Found Money. You’ve done the work already, so it’s like extra windfalls of cash.
YOGA IN BED & YOGA FOR SUITS are in a dozen or more languages. I really love stories like how my (sorta) friend Sam couldn’t believe he stumbled upon a copy in some remote corner of Asia or how the nice Jenny Knowles sent me a review from an Australian publication.
Tomorrow is a very intense day of comings and goings. Belle and I drive Susan to the airport at 7 am so she can transform, uplift and be a laser beam of love (I adore branding statements) to the residents of our 50th state. On the way home we have a conference call with an organic dog food company — they are great. We have another conference call with a publicist on the way back to the airport at 2pm to pick up Adrian, who is coming to stay with us (read “supervise our mental health”) for a week.
Although Belle and I will really miss Susan, it’s like she’ll still be here in that I’m going to share so many of the great things she’s shared with me with Adrian.
I’ve been looking forward to his visit very much because I’ve been acutely aware of how enjoyable it is to introduce what you appreciate with someone totally receptive. I now have dozens and dozens of things I love here in San Francisco — awesome things like the Beach at Crissy Field with Belle, or even just the view from Telegraph Hill itself — and I know I will be in an enhanced state of appreciation the entire time I’m sharing them with Adrian.
Oh and the title of today’s blog … Every time I finish an episode ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT it offers me the choice of BACK TO BROWSING or PLAY ANOTHER EPISODE … Guess which one I chose without fail.
