We’re alive! (oh, and there’s a book)
Nov 30th, 2008 by Mark
Hello! Well, the blog isn’t dead, yet. After returning to Denver last summer, Jen and I returned to our previous jobs. We bought a home (something about staying in a different place every other night), now own a dining room table and patio furniture, but honestly, the most luxurious item is still our very own non-squat, fragrance-free, indoor toilet (though hot water comes a close second). Sometimes, it is the simple pleasures.
But, I digress. We have succumbed to the pressure of many of you and have been moonlighting to put together a full-color book–Thirty on a Camel–from our year of travels, editing and revising the stories originally published on this blog. We’re taking pre-orders between now and December 7th 14th, which should help us gauge how many we need to have printed.
If you’re interested, check out the details. Otherwise, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Much love,
Mark & Jen
UPDATE 12/26: The first shipment of books went out on 12/22. Thank you to those of you that ordered! We printed 100 copies, and have about 60 left as of today. We’ll be taking them to a few local bookstores around Denver the first week of January, and we’ll see how things fare.
