**please note that i receive a lot of email...i do love hearing from you, and i really appreciate the interest, the kind words, and the encouragement. i do my best to read & respond when i can, but unfortunately i just can't respond to everything, and i often get 2-3 (or 6!) months behind. i'm one human being with an eff-load of responsibilities. i'm sure you are too, so i know you understand. thx. :)

**IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PHYSICAL MAIL: so look. i really appreciate those of you that want to send me gifts or letters through physical mail. unfortunately, i can't afford to keep a P.O. Box (and don't want to), and i don't have a manager/agent office address where things can be sent. i REALLY appreciate the sentiment - i do. it's very very kind of you to think of me, but PLEASE DO NOT SEND OR DELIVER ANYTHING TO MY HOME. again - i appreciate the intention - but i will not open, read, consume, or keep any unsolicited physical mail or delieveries from people i don't know. thanks again for thinking of me, and thank you for respecting this policy.
