121

. . . that’s the number of e-mails in my gmail inbox at the moment.

It’s significant because I’m using my gmail inbox as my staging area for e-mails I want to take action on (either blogging, sending a private reply, etc.).

Making the switch to gmail has made it much easier for me to keep track of the e-mails I need to take action on, with the result that I’ve been responding to readers more on the blog (and off) than previously.

Nevertheless, 121 is a pretty daunting number, so I just wanted to say to folks who’ve e-mailed me that I hope they’ll be patient. Gmail is making it easier for me to respond to folks, and I want to respond to as many as I can.

Muchas gracias, and God bless!
