OT: Good News!
Some of you may remember that last year I announced that my activity in this board was going to decrease because I had to work on my academic book (if not... that's fine, my activity didn't decrease much either).
Well... I finished the thing, submitted it to a couple of places, and one of them accepted it for publication. I just learned about it yesterday! 
And if this weren't enough... I also went and got us our V-day Gift: a heavy KitchenAid stand mixer! 
So... life is good, no matter how ugly the weather looks! 
Just wanted to share... Thanks for your patience!  |

Yes, congratulations, on the book too .
I don't bake nearly enough to buy a stand mixer, but mixing a bread dough by hand on the table is getting old. |

Toast toast toast! (no pun intended )

Bravo, now, we need the title and publisher so we can all rush out and buy it, or at least, try to bump it up on Amazon |

Congrats... I just got my wife a Kitchen Aid last month. It also does a great job on mash/whipped potatoes.

Thanks a big lot!
I wish it were on photography... But, as it turns out, photography is my violin d'Ingres where I work (I'm a college professor).
The book is an essay on a Nicaraguan poet, regarded as a kind of T. S. Eliot in Spanish American literature: Rubén Darío. He lived between 1867 and 1916, and had a prodigious output and a no less intense life. In fact, the books grew out of my doctoral dissertation and, since it's in Spanish, it was a bit challenging to find an academic publisher in the US. But, apparently, there are some presses willing to publish in foreign languages still...
In any event, I have my plans for a photo-related project, but I'll see to spring that out on the university authorities once I get tenure...
Because the significance of the book is that it allows me to get tenure!
The day I find out, it'll be a "a Leica for everyone" kind of celebration!
Thanks for your support, guys! This is the greatest and most encouraging forum of friends in the entire galaxy! |

Nowadays, I think of Spanish as the US's second language - and I wish I knew more than a few words! Sure would help when walking around the streets of NYC or Tucson! |

Congratulations Francisco. Enjoy your academic success and your new Kitchen Aid. A word of caution, however. The posession and use of a Kitchen Aid can play havoc with your waistline. At least cameras do not produce high caloric output. But you deserve a rich cake made with plenty of eggs and butter with a butter cream frosting. Just one, though.

Congrats! When you're mixing up cakes with that KitchenAid, think of me. Wonderful things, really.

I had no idea. Wow. I of course studied his works; among the greats as Amado Nervo, Ramón López Velarde, Gabriela Mistral, Juan Ramón Jiménez, José Martí, and my paisano (literally, from the same city), Manuel José Othón.
Have you ever heard of Ulalume González de León? If you have, then I shall bow before thee...

Felicitaciones Francisco- I'll ask our public library to buy a copy so I can read it when it's published.

Tenure! That's even better than being published. It's even better than a Custom Metallic® Series Kitchen Aid with the Grain Mill and the Ice Cream Maker! |
