I had forgotten about the book, and as I didn't have a Kindle back when you announced it I hadn't purchased it yet. I have my Kindle now, and also now have a copy of your book which I will start to read tonight. Not a savvy shopper, but I don't mind spending a few extra bucks to support local talent.

Thank you for finding me and The Perfect Meal (how did you come across us, if I might ask?). It would be my pleasure to send an advance copy of TPM to your Kindle. Not knowing your level of involvement with such procedures, I'll just ask if you've ever had anyone send a file directly through Amazon to your Kindle account. If not, bear with me as I'll quickly layout what you need to do here so others might find the info as well. Cool? Cool! Log into your Amazon account and navigate to your digital content/Manage Your Kindle area (there are a couple of different link paths to get there Once in the Kindle area, note the email address Amazon assigned to your Kindle. Should be something like "Greg_20@Kindle.com" (no quote marks, of course) Further down the page, find "Your Kindle Approved E-mail List" and enter my email address "james@boldlygoing.com" (no quotes) You most likely have a payment source entered in the "Your Default 1-Click Payment Method" but if not, I've discovered that Amazon will not deliver anything to your Kindle device. Not even if you have a gift card of any amount associated with your Kindle (thanks for that discovery, Mom!) But don't worry. No document I'm going to send will exceed the 1MB file size. Files up to 1MB will cost you $.15, that's fifteen cents to have delivered (such a bargain :| ) Once the above has been completed you will need to email me your Kindle address so I can send the formatted manuscript for eventual delivery to your device. You can check the progress on the same Manage Your Kindle page, on the right sidebar there is a widget titled "Delivery status for:" with a drop down box if you have other Kindle Apps that you read books on. Again, I've discovered that this private delivery service only seems to work for proper Kindle devices, not the various apps (boo!) Once I receive your Kindle email address and send out the manuscript to it, I'll also personally send you a confirmation message. From that point, if the above has been set up correctly, it usually takes less than an hour for The Perfect Meal to show up on your Kindle device (of course, we are talking about the Internet, so if you don't get it shortly after you receive my message, drop me a line and we'll investigate). Once you confirm you have The Perfect Meal on your device, feel free to remove my email address from your Kindle account. Not that I would send you anything else unsolicited, but this keeps you in control of your device. (Sorry, Mom. If you knew how to get into your Kindle account you wouldn't keep getting works in progress from me ;) I think I owe you about $.75 or so ;)) There you have it Greg. Thank you so much for taking the time to find me and offer your valuable reading time to help a fellow Northern Arizonan out! Any feedback you feel like sharing will be most gratefully accepted. Even if you think it's the worse thing ever, I need to hear that as well. You can email me directly, again at james@boldlygoing.com with any thoughts, ideas, questions, concerns, anything. Have a great one Greg! (love your little monkey(?) avatar. Nice!) James. Right on, Greg! Thank you for finding me and The Perfect Meal (how did you come across us, if I might ask?).

Which is fine in the grander scheme of things. Helps me to understand that some families are really just a collection of individuals who happen to be related through some quirky chance of fate.

The first just spun forever! Which is strange because I only chose to share with twitter, which has clearly worked in the past. And my response to Jeremy's comment went through faster than I could shake a mouse click at! Go figure!! Well…this is the 2nd attempt to post a reply to your comment. The first just spun forever!

Just looking out for the little guy! If I were a bit more creative I'd probably do more along the lines of video creation. It is actually one of my goals for the upcoming year. Either way, being able to share revenues just seems to makes sense, even when the content is enhancing your own online properties (as with embeds). Will be interesting to see how the model works itself out in the upcoming year.Appreciate your comment! Right on, Jeremy. Just looking out for the little guy!
