What's making you happy today? - Page 763

It's OK, I don't let my son drive outside the neighborhood yet, the D is still safe. But now it's fall, remember....

Gave a presentation today to an autism treatment group, with the agreement that all attending members would get a free copy of my book. 14 people RSVPed, 40-50 showed up. I had to text my mom 5 minutes before starting and ask her to go to my house and get more books. But it went well, and I managed to clear out almost all of my remaining promotional copies, which is awesome. (I was supposed to give them away at the Chicago AutismOne conference in May, but the shipment was screwed up and they didn't get into my hands until the last few hours I was there.) Hard to say if positive word-of-mouth will lead to any real sales, but it was a successful event, at any rate.

Word of mouth can't hurt. It's a good book.

Griff · 10-07-2016, 07:02 AM

w00t!

monster · 10-07-2016, 02:38 PM

that is Fabulous, Fodclobble

Very happy for you, the book is most excellent, I recommend it frequently

....and I think word of mouth is generally the way to go to get your momentum in such a specialist interest area. Because that travels to the people who need to know and the people who don't but like to learn who then recommend it further, and bypasses the fluffy-only audience

My son chipped in a shot on the 18th hole for an eagle and won $400 in a tournament doing so! Round 2 today.

Clodfobble · 10-08-2016, 09:46 AM

Wow! Which son is this?

Griff · 10-08-2016, 10:14 AM

Dang

glatt · 10-08-2016, 10:42 AM

Sounds like somebody should be taking dad out for dinner.

Gravdigr · 10-08-2016, 02:46 PM

Thats EXACTLY whats happening for my B-Day since he couldn't make the festivities with my parents and the rest of us. Kind of excited - He told me we are going to Firebirds. Neither of us have ever been as its way outta our typical budget.

classicman · 10-09-2016, 10:55 AM

So yeh, yesteday was my B-Day and I turned 52. Feeling ok about it, I guess. I reflect A LOT more than I used to though. Realizing that 75 is closer than 25 is kinda freaky. ANYWAY, whats the thing that makes me Happy you ask? Well my daughter wrote a really nice Happy Birthday post for me and this is the pic she chose. I totally love it.

Clodfobble · 10-09-2016, 11:19 AM

That's really nice. Good smiles on everyone.

Gravdigr · 10-09-2016, 11:43 AM

That's a good looking fam right there, Classic.

That kid in the red shirt is kinda goofy-looking, though.

Hey, just cause you're getting old doesn't mean ya hafta grow up!

Happy Belated Birthday Classic!
