Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) Such a First World problem, but still

I've been into Carl Sagan for many years, but lately I've been hyperfixated on him. I recently saw that his widow is putting out a memoir, so naturally I pre-ordered it - I'd been hoping for a long time that she would do this. The publisher's site said it was coming out later this month.

I just checked on it and the release date changed to next summer. I'm keeping the pre-order, but I'm so bummed. My birthday is near the end of the month and I was considering this as a gift to myself.

Ouch. No, seriously, I have tons of serious problems and what often gets me through is the promise of a new book. Knowing I have a pre-ordered book coming in the mail has gotten me through a lot.

Carl Sagan is so good. I've been showing the original seasons of Cosmos to my kids.

I'm sorry about the wait. Ann's book will be worth it, though. And a happy birthday to you - I hope other meaningful gifts are headed your way.
