Thank You For Your Comments and Concerns

August 19, 2008

I wanted to quickly say thank you to those who came by from Jane Gross’ NYT blog and commented. I did read all of your comments, even though I didn’t respond to them all. It was interesting to see people commenting from Ireland, Germany, and all across America.

One common thread I noticed in a number of comments was a concern about my own well-being. To those who are concerned, let me assure you that I am in good health, and I am looking after my health. I could write an entire post about how I tend to my own health–and maybe I will later–but I haven’t the time for that right now. So I thought I would briefly assure those of you who were concerned, and tell you all, “Thanks for coming by!”
