I wanted to make sure I thanked all you folks.  All you readers.  All your emails, all your comments.  You guys are totally awesome, and I really appreciate that you’re checking the blog, thinking about these things.  On days when I’m feeling tired and slow, it’s heartening to see that people are checking in.  I guess it comes down to this:  We’re not alone out here.

And for that, I’m profoundly grateful.
