Hey everyone,
I'm down with helping manage the list in whatever capacity and technology is
seen fit. As you've probably noticed, I sway towards Google. But if
modifying the existing listserv is what the rest of the group wants, then
I'll go with the flow. I just want to see the great discussions and
friendships that are borne here continue on.
Unfortunately, I will likely be offline the rest of the day to take care of
my husband who is very ill and suffering from opiate withdrawals. I feel
like an ER visit is in our very near future.
I'll try to check in later tonight to see where things are going!
Cheers,
Sarah
