Good to hear! Of course, I'm now having a hard time staying here at
work instead of going home and pitching a tent on the front steps
until the mail delivers my copy, but I guess I'll manage. I was just
hoping that HQ Voices would be released to help tide me over--kind of
like giving my son an advent calendar with lego pieces in it to keep
him from going completely insane before Christmas :)
How hopefully everything will go tickety-boo for bringing out the
Heros book, gazeteer, etc, on schedule :)
