Hello All

Letter of the week:
"Hey there....My name is +++ I am located in +++. I have exactly six days to
prepare for an exam that I have left to the last minute...:0  Im not sure
exactly where this email will get me however, I am looking for any
information on +++ or his play +++....which I will be performing a monologue
from and will be required to explain.  If you can help me out at all with
web sites or information
please respond."

Wouldn't you just love to know how that presentation went? The upshot is
that I forwarded her e-mail and the playwright very kindly contacted her
directly and my street-cred rose immeasurably.

Meanwhile up to my gills in work, now that the place is running as it
should. Traffic is still high (over 10,000 per week) but should taper off
soon with the end of the school year. Major things, though, will happen
throughout the summer to keep the thing humming along; it'll be work you
will notice (additions) and work you won't (behind-the-scenes fixes to make
the whole site work better).
