Attention email subscribers: Because the automated email service I currently use is being discontinued in July. I will be moving to a different service. Details will be forthcoming, but in the mean time, if you no longer want to subscribe to email, you can follow me on Facebook or Instagram. I will try to have a new subscription service up by July.
