I should double the subscription price! -Editor

We're all so addicted, we'd pay the price! That was a great issue...

I enjoyed the last issue, too. Funnily, I was a little concerned earlier in the week. Although I had a good bit of material, there wasn't any blockbuster news until the items on Catherine Eagleton's article arrived. But collectively, the variety of material and top-notch expertise of our contributors made for a marvelous issue. -Editor
