correspondence

Just briefly-- I've gotten very many thoughtful and engaged emails, both critical and complimentary, in the last few days. I'm trying to make my way through them, and my intention is to respond to every one. Please be patient with me; the semester starts next week, and teaching, in particular, is weighing heavily on my mind and on my time. I appreciate the engagement more than I can say and I am so pleased to hear from so many of you. Cheers.
