You'll get more in depth information faster here. :-) But Mark thought it was worth cluing folks in if they needed the reader's digest version!

Congrats! There's so much good info here I'm not surprised they took notice!

Deb --- I was also interviewed for an article in the print magazine last week. But I'm not sure when/if it'll run, so no news on that yet.

I got my copy Saturday and you are in this copy. They cropped out the puppy though...

Congratulations!

Brian --- I thought I'd be the only one who noticed they cut Lucy out. (They left in the other family's kids --- no fair! :-) )
