A good nights read.

                                   A Good ReadI couldn't sleep last night. I have a list longer then my arm of things to take care of: gas line leaks, photo edits due, termite infestations, dogs to walk...it goes on but the most important is that the books would arrive tomorrow. I just found out today.

​I got up and had a cup of tea. I still couldn't sleep so I thought I would read. I picked a book off the shelf.

​This book has been on my shelf for 4 weeks. I have only cracked it a few times but tonight I curl back in bed with it.

​I'm nervous to read it. There is only one copy and I'm the only one who has it. I know I will see every mistake, every spelling error, every box that is not lined up just right.
​Instead, I smile. Oh! wait, that arrow is a little off. I smile, I like that photo. I am becoming more enchanted as I read. I am transported to a place where I reach down on the approach and run my hand across tops of the dry savanna like grasses as the trail turns west into the setting sun. Then, I am up on a hard, dark patina face specked with glowing green lichen. Then, pulling on another chickenhead I need to slow down to catch my breath, enjoying the rhythmic joy of moving and reading too quickly. I don't want it to end.

​Wait..did you miss that? The first shipment of Cochise Stronghold: Rock Climbing on the West Side Guidebook arrives today.

Thank you again for your support. I had no idea what it would take but sometimes a little faith, such as yours, was the push I needed to keep going.

The people who pre-purchased to help get this project off the ground have a copy reserved for them in this first batch. If you want to come pick one up (cash sales) and have a toast with me I will post the location on the website ..as soon as the shipment drops on my front porch. There will be other places to pick up a book next week, Tanya

I did buy a copy through cochiseclimbing and PayPal for pickup. I live in Tucson. I cannot figure out how to email you directly. Thanks!
