I just read a plea by a Kindle user that said something like: "Please, please, stop all the self-promotion by the authors." I feel deeply for her/him and sympathize. Imagine if, when pianos were first invented, Beethoven and Chopin started posting about the "Ode to Joy" or the "Moonlight Sonata" and begging you to give them a go. Well, you wouldn't call them National Treasures, that's for sure. I have to apologize to all of the "readers" for our shameless self-promotion and for getting on their nerves. The best I can do is try to entertain you a bit in my posts.
Thank you for reading.
