Here I am in Iraq...

[ajhuflpuf]

And Amazon.com says they have now shipped the book.  Let's see how 
many weeks it takes to get here!  In the meanwhile, I have to avoid 
everything on the internet because even regular news sites headlines 
had spoilers, and someone being friendly sent me email with a plot 
summary, which I quickly closed before reading further! Can you say 
Augh?  The costume I had prepared sits in storage.

I don't suppose anyone has free time, sitting around?  I would be so 
happy just to see a scan of the first page with the little picture and 
chapter title... (some here had volunteered, a while back..) At any 
rate, I'll post when the book actually reaches me, and we'll test the 
postal system.

Anyhow, enjoy, and won't be online much till I look at the book!
