First, thanks to benefactors, donors – ad hoc or subscribed monthly – and to people who send things, books, etc., from my wishlists. Today, I had a nice card from JM and a book from FCE. I have also had notes from El Machero, CA, Indianapolis, Mandan, ND, Palatine, IL, Reeseville, WI (a donation to the TMSM!), Ft. Meyers, FL. Voice mails was left also (see my US, UK and SKYPE numbers on the sidebar).
