Well if you're in the giving mood, I'd love a new black video ipod to replace the broken one that apple has yet to fix (though it's covered in the class action suit against them).

*edit*
I'd have commented on your post, though couldn't understand anything I read from that link.

Wow, congratulations IT.

Seriously, thumbs up.

I've never even been published in the PTG Journal.

WELL, then. . . :party:

But the question is. . . can you READ it?

Congratulations, IT! You're clearly smarter than I look. :) Seriously, I'm well impressed, as they say across the pond.

A hint for the rest of us - if you take the last two vowels off all the words, it's just about in English.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Whoa!

A real live author - with published works!

(in the background, the sound of untold thousands of minions ... "we're not worthy.... we're not worthy.... we're not worthy.... ")

Megacongratulations. I remember seeing something that I had written in print (no, not THAT), and the warm feeling it gave me. :clap::clap::clap:

Now, I assume that you're going to mail everybody here a copy, right? :croc:

Just click here, and I'll fill in the addresses for all of us!

Oh, you've got to be KIDDING me! That's truly wonderful!

:clap: :clap: :thumb: :thumb:

(I myself have been trying to be a published author for about 9 months now. I only do short stories, but I have some concept of publishing and know that getting your book picked up is a real milestone, regardless of how amazing your book can be.)

That is NO easy task, my friend. Congrats are in order!

I cite irreconcilable differences.

Congratulations. Too bad I can't read eye-talian. I'm sure the English version is not too far off. ;)

Thanks, Deb, it wasn't written as libretto, but I am sure you would bring out its best qualities. :smile:

Tell you what, I'll send you a check; send me a copy (in inglese, per favore) with a wonderful, personalized inscription on the inside cover, and that will be my Christmas present to me.

Actually, I'm serious; it looks like a great book.

I love the title of the Italian translation -- The Architecture of the Mystical Body -- it sounds way cooler in Italian, of course.

IT's Italian is pretty good, by the way. He got us through Italy very well this summer on his Italian . . . I loved just listening to him order food.

He also sweet talked his way in Italian into some closed buildings in Rome, etc. . . . he's such a charmer, they always gave in to his requests.

Did you all know that I had read IT's book several months before I met him? I loved it so much I bought six copies and gave them to friends. When I met IT, I didn't catch on to who he was because the way his last name is pronounced is different than how it's spelled.

I was actually telling him that if he wanted to discuss church architecture with me, he first needed to read Architecture in Communion because it's essential to understanding the subject. I felt like such a goof when I realized he wrote it! IT was flattered. :wink:
