Five!

Unfortunately the scuba divers are only down there on the weekends.

Also the sidewalks really need to be smoothed over.

Then I went to a retirement party for a former co-worker.

TCB · « **Reply #124 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:20:24 PM »

It was nice to see a lot of former colleagues.

TCB · « **Reply #125 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:21:14 PM »

The guest of honor could have retired when I was still working.

TCB · « **Reply #126 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:22:25 PM »

At least, she was old enough to have retired.

TCB · « **Reply #127 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:23:40 PM »

But I really think that her job is her life.

TCB · « **Reply #128 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:24:13 PM »

Her other great love is gardening.

TCB · « **Reply #129 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:24:47 PM »

So, she really picked the right time of year to retire.

TCB · « **Reply #130 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:25:59 PM »

I have never seen her property, nor would I ask her where she lives.

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:27:40 PM »

I think she would have been shocked if I had ever asked for her address.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:28:11 PM »

Or even her home phone number.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:30:09 PM »

And yet she has probably told me more about her family, her marriages, and her health problems than any other co-worker.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:30:43 PM »

Strange, I know.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:31:22 PM »

I realized as I was leaving the restaurant today, that I probably will never see her again.

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:32:18 PM »

Such are the dynamics you have with certain people at work.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:35:23 PM »

And yet, I have been out with some supervisors or had lunch at a boss's house, but still known very little of their personal lives.

TCB · « **Reply #138 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:35:58 PM »

Anyway, it was a nice afternoon.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:37:46 PM »

And best of all, the retirement party was at a Azteca, and I was really in the mood for some American-Mexican food.

Good news for Kindle and Nook readers - the ePub guy got me the stuff back - it looks great and I've already uploaded it to Amazon Kindle and it should go live within 24 hours. I also uploaded to Nook, but I'm a new vendor there so that's at least twenty-four hours. But whew! I may also have this guy to Murder at the Hollywood Division, since that one never got done. Can someone who got Red Gold tell me if that one looks okay? When I do the Hofstetter then I think all the books will have eBooks.

TCB · « **Reply #141 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:39:10 PM »

Not exactly authentic, but good food.

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:39:34 PM »

But boy was I tired when I got home.

You mean we can read your new book on a Kindle within the next 24 hours?

So I'm told - the Nook version is a pain in the ass and I think that will take a few days due to their stupid verification process.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:54:10 PM »

I know some here like to keep their hardcovers in pristine condition. Funny thing about the .mobi file version that Kindle loves - it looks fantastic, but my short little book of 179 pages is about 250 pages in that format, whereas in the ePub file format on the Nook it's about 130 pages. Go know.

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:54:31 PM »

I'm having him do Murder at the Hollywood Division and have already sent him those files.

TCB · « **Reply #147 on:** February 25, 2016, 09:59:12 PM »

Cool! I will check Kindle in 24 hours.

As to my recent ills, I have to report that I feel really good.

Not only that, but I am getting great sleep at night thanks to the CPAP!

This is great news Ron

That is amazing how quick the turnaround is on Kindle.
