Thanks for coming back!  Got a couple of really nice emails saying that some of you are enjoying this column. Sometimes it feels like I am writing into outer space, so I really appreciate the feedback!  I’m not really good about reading your comments after the column is posted (partially because I’m not sure I can take one more shred of negativity on top of the rest of the stress I’m constantly dealing with), so thanks to everyone who has emailed to let me know that there’s a reason to keep doing this.
