I assume it will be periodically updated with news and information about my book. Be sure to tell your friends and family about the book, too. (As you can tell, I&#8217;m really bad at promoting my book.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been dilligently striving to edit the final third of the book. The earlier portions of the book necessitated a greated number of edits, but most of them were easy&#8230;take out this paragraph, move this sentence over here, shorten this dialogue&#8230; But now I&#8217;m really struggling to come up with the best compromises and fixes here. My plan is to complete the edits and send them back over the Thanksgiving break, during which time I will have four straight days off of work and no homework. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I came across this video today of a GOP poll watcher reporting from a Colorado precinct:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lKi_Ce0c6FU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/onlineathens.com\/election\/2012-11-08\/charles-darwin-gets-nearly-4000-write-votes-athens-against-rep-broun#.UJ0YZ4KBOLw.email\">Charles Darwin scored 4,000 votes against incumbant Broun in Georgia&#8217;s 10th Congressional District<\/a>. I guess, when your other choice is a creationist, Darwin is the natrual selection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, 14 November 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, one matter we need to care for in regards my daughter&#8217;s room is the large closet fixture in the room. Five months ago, we sold two-thirds of the closet space, but we still have one-third remaining. I use it for my clothes.<\/p>\n<p>So our first plan was to just move that closet down into the basement. Makes perfect sense, really, becuase the bathroom, where I take a shower every morning, is downstairs. However, the ceiling isn&#8217;t high enough for this large closet fixture to fit.<\/p>\n<p>We thus put the closet for sale on Craig&#8217;s List. No offers yet. Well, no <em>reasonable<\/em> offers yet.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we went to IKEA to buy a new closet for the basement. No luck. This marks, like, the ten thousandth time I&#8217;ve gone into a store prepared to buy something(s) and left empty-handed. Every closet they had for sale was either too big, too expensive, or (surprise!) too crappy. Jennifer suggested I build my own closet space in the basement, which would be great if the combined total of the lumber and hardware didn&#8217;t exceed the cost of most closets.<\/p>\n<p>So, for now, we&#8217;re in a holding pattern regarding the future of my clothing. As for Isla&#8217;s room, the closet fixture will remain in her room until we absolutely need to remove it, if it hasn&#8217;t sold by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, 12 November 2012 This weekend, I found out my forthcoming book now has a Facebook page.
