First Copy

I'm feeling pretty good about progress on the book--except for the cover, of course. This is my first draft in book form, so I can check layout, fonts, some picture/map layout, etc., all 204 pages so far The first two chapters are pretty good ("Tidewater" and "Pennsylvania Dutch"), I think, but I'm in the process of reworking the last four chapters now ("Being American", "Of Buckeyes and Hoosiers", "Iowa", and "The City of Roses"). Katherine and Mary, tell your husbands that I haven't forgotten them and I should have a rough draft for them to look at by, say, the end of October. Expected final release: around Superbowl time.
