I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the many of you who've sent me e-mails and/or comments in the past few months. I don't know if I've collected a bunch of new readers or if all y'all have sensed the exhaustion and soul-crushing apathy that I've been feeling lately, but hearing from people who appreciate what I'm doing (or trying to do) with this blog is really encouraging. I've had a lousy bout of the winter blues which annually reaches the peak around January, and it's felt worse than most years (though I probably think that each time it happens). So again, thank you all for the validation, and I promise to return to regular postings later this week.
Yours adoringly,Joe
