* * Sharing Thanksgiving, Joining Facebook

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is certainly one of my favorite holidays.  Placing it on a Thursday rather than a Friday or Monday gives us that one extra day off work, one more than is typical for holidays.  It is a time for family, food, and togetherness with friends.  What could be better?

As I mentioned in last week's blog, at the urging of my daughter and several friends, I have joined Facebook.  If you have been following this blog and would like to be a Facebook friend, please search for my name.  There are several listings for people named Michael Abraham, but I am the guy with the funny hat and the suspenders.  This picture was taken as I was preparing to enter a coal mine doing research for the book.  Once the book is published, I will make an announcement to everyone on my friends list with information as to where the book can be purchased.

As I have said before, I appreciate the patience everyone has shown in getting the book into print publication.  This process has taken much longer than I once expected.

I have had some discussions with friends in the area about forming a writer's club.  If you live in or near Blacksburg and are interested in joining such a group, please let me know.
