Truck, truck, truck! Fledgling order for signings arrived ...

Truck, truck, truck! Yep, late in the day, 1543.96 lbs worth of Fledgling arrived yesterday in Waterville; two full pallets, 60 cases of books. The truck driver handed them off case by case at the tailgate; I had to stack them in 15 stacks each 4 cases high and later cart them and restack them in the storage bin ... luckily it was a very nice day, and even better, the neighboring office was closed so the driver could get the 18 wheeler within 6 feet of the bay door, leaving me about a 60 foot round trip for each handcart run.

So what does that mean if you've ordered Fledgling? We're waiting for the shipping boxes. I'm testing a label printer today, and some new mailing software as well, and  .... and today is Sharon's birthday, and we have a reservation for the nicest Italian place in town tonight, so it'll be awhile before signing starts, much less shipping. This may take a week or two.
Please be patient!

Please tell Sharon Happy Birthday! She shares her birthday with my Dad. :)

Don't worry - we have all waited this long I'm sure a few more weeks won't really matter.

That's -- three quarters of a ton! I'm surprised you're still able to stand (it would have killed me). Take it easy, and y'all have fun tonight!

if we're really impatient, we can always buy an extra copy of Fledgling and make the numbers go up, right?

Happy birthday to Sharon, enjoy - no rush.
