[07:35] <nhaines> Good morning!
[07:36] <svij> morning dholbach and nhaines :)
[07:36] <Kilos> hi dholbach 
[07:45] <dholbach> hi Kilos, hey svij
[07:45] <dholbach> hey nhaines
[08:56] <nhaines> I've decided I dont want to revise my book.  I want it to go from first draft to final draft magically.  :)
[08:59] <svij> nhaines: I want a review unit!
[09:09] <nhaines> svij: that can quite possibly be arranged!  :)
[09:15] <svij> nhaines: that would be nice :)
[09:15] <svij> when will it be available?
[09:17] <Kilos> lol
[09:18] <nhaines> Well, I'm writing right now, lol.  It looks like we'll be able to beat the Amazon listed publish date of October 7th.
[09:23] <svij> hurry up!
[09:23] <svij> :P
[09:23] <nhaines> lol
[09:23] <nhaines> That's what my editors are saying!
[09:53] <nhaines> dholbach, svij: you can maybe review my current provisional dedication to my little 8yo friend, who'll be 9 by the time the book is published.  :)
[09:53] <nhaines> "Für Alexanderchen, der alles isst, alles versucht, und immer lernt."
[09:53] <dholbach> :-)
[09:54] <svij> he eats everything?
[09:54] <nhaines> Pretty much.
[09:54] <svij> than it's correct :)
[09:54] <nhaines> He's not afraid to try strange foods even if he didn't like them before, and usually he's in the habit of eating all his food, then eating half of mine.
[09:54] <nhaines> If I'm quick enough to finish half before he does, anyway.  :)
[09:55] <svij> hehe
[10:03] <nhaines> Alexander doesn't like his name shorted to Alex, so for short I have to call him Alexanderchen.
[10:06] <svij> so we can call you nathanchen?
[10:07] <nhaines> I like to stick with Nathan.  Why mess with a good thing?
[10:07] <nhaines> Actually, I like to call him "Knabe" because: 1) it's true, and 2) it slightly annoys him.  Or used to.  He seems to have accepted it as an actual word I didn't make up now.  :)
[10:07] <svij> :D
[10:08] <nhaines> Although that led to "kiddo" in English, so last time I was saying "Kleiner" more often.  Or Kumpel, since I sometimes use "buddy" in English.  Well, the important thing is he knows who I mean.  :)
[10:09] <svij> heh
[10:09] <svij> where does he live?
[10:10] <nhaines> San Diego.
[10:10] <svij> oh, I thought he's german :D
[10:10] <svij> *living in germany
[10:11] <Kilos> hehe i call my daughter kiddo
[10:11] <nhaines> He's German at least.  :D
[10:11] <svij> :D
