And I wanted to mention that I appreciate you posting my piece on your site. I've looked over what you've got going and I'm impressed. Please feel free to take any of the other chapters you find appealing and put them up here if you like. The book is progressing. I've finished about 8 chapters of it so far but also I've been spending a lot of time lining up contacts and interviews. Something I'm new to. Boxing promoters, film makers, Cuban icons, trainers in America who work with defected Cubans, trainers in Cuba, setting up a travel itinerary (Miami, LA, Havana, NYC), ex-fighters, and, most recently, I've been trying to get Mike Tyson on the phone and seem to have finally made that happen as of next Monday. It may surprise you, but from all the top level people I've talked to, Mike Tyson is regarded the greatest boxing historian on the planet. AND he visited Cuba in 2002. So hopefully there's material there we can discuss. How things going for you? Okay, we’re on the same page. And I wanted to mention that I appreciate you posting my piece on your site.

Okay, now I understand you. The answer is, I often take a resonant line from the piece I'm blogging about as a title for the post! Just using the same title as the piece you want to draw attention to is kind of lazy, in my opinion, and whenever I see that I wonder if the writer really read the piece they're writing about. So, how's the book coming along? Ah! Okay, now I understand you. The answer is, I often take a resonant line from the piece I’m blogging about as a title for the post!

So, how’s the book coming along?

Which is why I was curious you decided to change my title. I wasn't asking with hostility, I was just curious.

Do you mean to say your book is not called <em>The Domino Diaries</em>? I completely do not understand this question. Do you mean to say your book is not called The Domino Diaries?
