I had two great conversations tonight. Online ones, that is, with Tiggie from overacuppa.com and my good pal Barney from work, or rather, the place where I used to work. Talking to friends who live miles away reminds me of the other places and lives I inhabited, and that I shouldn't be too clouded by the troubles of the present life I've made for myself.
A couple of years ago, I was caught up in the pre-production of books that Barney tells me are now being printed. It's a nice thing to know since I used to believe that it'd be a very long time before those books ever saw the light of day. I suppose that "very long time" has come and gone now. A nicer thing - he may get posted in New York city for some training, and if so, he might get to visit me some time next year! Note to self: will introduce him to a certain friend who might fancy British blokes.

Can you send me your Singapore home address (by email, not here, obviously!) and I'll make sure copies of all the books you were involved in are waiting for you when you are next back.
I don't think you'd appreciate extra books to have to lug back from the States in the future... although I can send there if you'd prefer. I'll pass on your regards to Heshim when I see her later this month in Seoul.
I am particularly excited by the last line of your post!
;-)

Posted by: tiggie at December 12, 2004 3:49 PMB, will get you my home address in Singapore. No point sending the books here. No promises but I'll do my best on that last line, if you do visit. =)
Ha ha, "enlightening"! Tigs, you make me laugh.
