The Book Is A Success!

I posted a blurb here over a month ago about VoiceMale, a book written by my friend, Neil Chethik. Well, the book is now in its third printing. The Amazon dot com ranking spiked in January and it is continuing to do well as a Valentine's Day book for both husbands and wives. Be sure to look at the customer reviews at Amazon dot com.

For those of you who fly Delta, check out the in-flight magazine this month for a 4-page feature on the book. The February 13 edition of People magazine also gives it a good nod. Psychology Today has weighed in positively.

Neil traveled to speak in New York City, San Fransisco, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Washington D.C., and still has a few cities left on his agenda.

Books about men do not always do well in the market, but VoiceMale is an exception. Men are delighted to read a book that represents their gender in a positive light and women are fascinated by the intimate disclosures about what men really think. Neil has struck a nerve with the book that has many people abuzz about its content.

Lisa's Visit

Janet's niece, Lisa Vroegh (v ru) was in San Diego for a few days to attend an event at the Convention Center. She was recruiting students for an education program at her college in Iowa.

During her stay her aunts, cousin and I assisted her with clothes shopping--she always buys clothes when visiting California. We had a great time and she found a number of really cute things.

I snapped this photo on Saturday morning as we were waiting to be seated for breakfast at 222 downtown. Russ, Joan and Debbie had come down that day from Newport Beach to see Lisa and spend the day with us.

Lisa had to attend sessions at the Convention Center mid-day. Joan, Debbie, Janet and I spent that time playing at Kobe's Swap Meet. The people watching was great and we left with all kinds of junk we don't need.

We then picked Lisa up for another shopping spree at Fashion Valley Mall, Ross and Nordstrom's Rack. Janet and Joan slept in the car when we got to our last spot--some people cannot shop as long or as hard as other people. The evening ended with dinner at Mimi's Cafe on Mission Center Road. It was a fun day and we hope Lisa will return again soon.
