St. Patrick

Yesterday was St. Patricks day. I remembered my father with a pint or two. Still no job in site and I am running out of money fast. I have approved the design for my advert; it looks really good and I'm tempted to buy the book myself.
No sign of the galley proof for my poetry book. It's all agreed now and I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Another funny thing happened yesterday. I've googled my book title a few times and found a site in Finland that sells it. However, I found a site in Germany listing it yesterday. All in German of course it provided a short biography of the author, me. Strange but I never knew that I was born in 1954 and educated in Germany resulting in a professorship in sociology. Strange what you can read about yourself and I must say that I am tempted to adopt this new found youth and high qualification.
I will take this as a sign that things will soon get better.
