Canongate had already printed 36,000,000 copies, but since sales at some book chains doubled this week, Mr Byng now expects to have ordered at least half a million by the end of the year.

I'd be up for re-doing part or all of my presentation when I'm back home, 7 or 8 p.m. my time, 10 a.m. or so your time. That's really very easy to do with webinar software. I had a great time yesterday morning and would love to continue the conversations!

I too have spent time on your blog post-presentation and loved your writing, esp about Slide. Hey, this was the first US election result in decades that has inspired conversation in our (Australian) bars and everywhere else!

Your wonderful post about the election says it all. I was working in New Zealand on the actual election day and can honestly say that the entire ANZ region was moved by the dignity and enormity of this event. I'm so pleased you and Lizanne were able to share it with the people of Sydney. Karen

More on that later... much more... keep those comments coming. Zeke, I'll respond on the blog... but I didn't "flub" the PhD, I just dropped out. I think well enough of my performance that I always submit my transcript from UM for jobs, whether it is required or not. Yes, Prop 8 and 2 are sad results.
