Dear Lisa,
I come to your splendid blog for the first time via Ruchama Feuerman's Writing Project site to which I have submitted a piece. Now I should really credit PearliesofWisdom.blogspot.com for her post about Ruchama whom I subsequently contacted which led me to your site.
It's a bit convoluted but that is more or less how I arrived here, and I must tell you that I am very impressed by the depth and breadth of this blog.
I have tagged your site as one of my favorites and will be visiting regularly. Well, just thought to introduce myself.
I am,
Very Sincerely Yours,
Alan D. Busch
