Almost Done but Not Really

Tomorrow is the deadline on my book- writing a book can be compared to childbirth (sorry guys). 20 years ago when I gave birth to my daughter, I was one of those lucky few who popped her out in a matter of a few hours. After she was born, I was ready to have more. [...]

2009 is about adventure and originality
