May closed out on a very high note.
First, despite the closure of ComiXpress, sales of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan have gone exceedingly well. It also helps to be running a pre-vacation season sale to push it along. The ebook edition at Amazon's Kindle Store is also doing quite well. The sale ends one week from today, so don't miss out on getting the printed edition at 20% off the cover price!
Second, I was doing some research on my ancestry with the idea of joining the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) (my grandmother was in the Daughters of the American Revolution). While doing so, I was making use of Ancestry.com. As a whim, I entered in names of people I knew from years past who I've lost contact with. Some results weren't so happy as I found that they have passed on. Other results were very happy, to put it mildly.
One result, I have to say, was someone I knew in college who I haven't heard from in over 30 years. Without giving out any personal information, as her line of work, etc. dictates discretion, we reconnected and it has been a very enjoyable, and interesting, experience. We picked up as if time had not even passed very easily. It is interesting to see how one's life has progressed over the years. It is also very nice to see a friend become a success in their professional life. A lot of things changed, but some are as familiar as if 30 years hadn't passed such as the sense of humor and the general tenor of discussion (she's a darn great storyteller!).
If she happens to read this, I will sum it all up by borrowing a line from Spock from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: "I have been and always shall be your friend." I couldn't put it any better than that.
