shout out...

i wanted to post a note of belated thanks to all of the friends who have e-mailed/called/asked about how my family has been doing in the wake of katrina. so, tons of appreciation and gratitude to the following:

paula, jessie, katey, joe/laura, amy, jeff, tony, dave, allison, krista, andrew, grant, tom, michael/steph, joshua, steve, george, katie...

i know i'm forgetting tons of people. but to all of the folks who have asked me at school/tracked me down somehow (since i'm basically terrible about keeping in touch), thank you for your kindness and much love to you all!
