It's a week before Christmas and even though bowl practices have started up there's a very different feel when the football regular season comes to an end. For you Spraceballs fans, I compare it to going from ludicrous speed down to something almost normal (but not quite, because basketball continues).
So while I have a quiet moment I just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays and a prosperous new year.
There's really very little to update with the book. As I've posted before most of the manuscript was completed by July, and I had to turn it in by the end of October. Since then there's only been pockets of editing and fact-checking, and I actually have a copy highlighted with everything that has to be updated after the bowls conclude in January.
I figure it'll take about a week, give or take, depending on work and breaking news -- because like always the manuscript takes a back seat to the daily gig. I also had specific contingency plans for if Alabama won the national championship, or did not, and those were carried out a couple of weeks ago.
Regardless, we're still set for a July release.
In the meantime, I'm determined to do more reading in the coming year and have already gotten off to a good start. I just polished off Tom Clancy's Threat Vector (which, yes, was a Christmas gift last year), and now I'm really enjoying Lars Anderson's Carlisle vs. Army: Jim Thorpe, Dwight Eisenhower, Pop Warner, and the Forgotten Story of Football's Great Battle.
I now leave you with this following holiday thought: Do you know where your Christmas attack moose is?
