The other night I woke up at 3am and couldn’t get back to sleep. In that time, I wrote the introduction to this post, as well as two or three other complete posts in my head. Unfortunately, now that I sit down to actually write, all of those eloquent middle-of-the-night words have left me. Isn’t that always the way?
I wish I could remember what I thought would be such a good thing to tell you about here… Whatever it was, you can trust me that it was really great. You would have loved it. Heh.
How about we just get to the good stuff?

I’m considering putting together a very short survey that will help me to understand better how you are reading this site – I’d like to understand you guys and your habits so that I know where to concentrate my efforts for future improvements. You know I am always tinkering with this site, and I want to make sure the changes I consider are actually going to be helpful!
Please keep an eye out for that survey this week, and please do respond, if you can. It means a lot to me!
Have a great weekend 🙂
