So happy

Post by jona »

I can't resist the temptation, I need to shout: my book is there!This afternoon, my publisher called me to say that she needed me for some important business, my presence was urgently required. When I cycled to the office, I suddenly understood what she had meant, and when the porter greeted me with a big smile, I knew that the book was there, two weeks before the original date.I am very happy & I am going for a drink right now.Thank you all for discussing everything during the past couple of months. In case you ever get a copy and can read Dutch, pothos is mentioned on page 387.Thanks - thanks - thanks!Jona
