Since the beginning of August, many things have happened as far as the book was concerned.
The first thing that happened was that on July 18th, the incomplete manuscript was sent to my publisher through email plus a boring-assed questionaire that I had to fill out for liabilty reasons.
The second thing was that towards the end of July, the introduction was sent after a few alterations were made to the list of people I wanted to thank.
And the third thing that happened was the introduction that was done by Sabrina, Katie, and I back in April as the book came to fruition.
The only thing that hadn't happened yet was me telling the chocolate cutie or in this case, Michelle or Sharika, who is somewhere driving a cab in Montreal that the book was going to be filled with all of the adventures the four of us had during the summer of 2006 as well as what would become the hottest near-couple in the long history of Memphis professional baseball.
Which was the same thing I told Dr. Joye, the city's answer to Kim Parker, Ms. Drake, the Playboy Bunny in Carbondale, and of course, Kasi.
During lunch this afternoon as i was getting stomped in pool (more on that later), I finally explained to Michelle that the book was without a shadow of a doubt, focused on her and twin sister, the chocolate cutie, Sharika, and all of the funny moments we had during the summer of 2006.
"She's going to kill me when this book comes out," I said, "Believe me, everybody in the country is going to laugh at her as well as me for writing a book like this."
And much like what happened on June 25th of last year on my anxieties of bringing the chocolate cutie into the booth for the Fourth, she again tried to calm me down as I tried to convince her that there's a huge chance that the chocolate cutie may sue me for writing the book.
"She's not going to do that," she said, "She might think it's flattering you wrote a book about her."
Of course, that was the same thing that was told to me by my therapist Dr. Chris.
"You told them before the book came out that it was about them, so why worry?" he asked.
Good point.
