Decision Day
September 2, 2009
I drove up to my house to photograph the momentous progress that has taken place. Please don’t expect anything too extreme like glass in the windows or a fireplace, but I do have a copper fascia that looks great. Thank you, Joan, for convincing me to go without certain necessities like food or clothing in order to have it.
We have a new dilemma: stucco color. I like it dark, but cousin Lynn says absolutely no, Joan is not really sure and being the totally secure person that I am, I’m vacillating. I have narrowed the color of the steel to either 
black or a dark, dark red. One more trip this week and then Thursday is “D” (as in decision) day. The tally from the polls weighs in heavily toward black. Black is certainly safe, but do I want to be so safe? A deep red would give it a certain distinction, like maybe a designer was living there. Decisions, decisions, decisions…and Obama thinks he has pressure with his job!
Finished or not, the house is really beginning to look like someone could live there one day. When that day will come is anyone’s guess, but when I show the current pictures, people always react with an “oh it’s really far along.” Of course these people don’t know how long we have been working and probably assume we broke ground this year.

I had peerrdroed my copy from Amazon.com so I received it as soon as it was published. I wonder if this means the first run has sold out and the publisher is going to make a second printing?Stephanie, you might make some calls to various brick and mortar bookstores if the online sources are all out. Someone is likely to still have a copy on the shelf or could have one transferred from another store.

Any idea why Dead and Buried doesn't appaer to be available in Canada? I preordered from Amazon.ca and they tell me it is unavailable and will be sent to me when it is in stock. The other big online bookstore in Canada doesn't even list it.Strange the publisher is based in the UK, so I would have guessed that release would have been simultaneous in Canada, NZ, Aus, etc. Could you try getting an independent to order it for you, or just ordering from amazon.com?
