A very special shout-out to...

• Melanie, who I somehow left off the other shout-out list(s)
• Lincoln, who I know would e-mail me if he could use his hands for things other than hitting himself in the head with his rattle (and if he knew how to read and write)
• Carrie H., the single greatest foreign language program director on the earth
• Michelle B.- somehow I left you off, too!
• Linda F.- thanks for your well wishes
• Dan-dan and Mom-mom, I think I have your e-mail address fixed now
• Mimi, Ollie, and Mitzi the dog
• Janelle and Fernando just because I miss them and was so happy to talk to them tonight. :)
• anyone else I may have left off...
