To follow up on the last .journal entry, I sent the e-mail out yesterday afternoon. No reply so far, but I expect that if I am going to get a reply, it’ll take a couple of weeks. Until then, I’ve just got to get on with my life as best I can. And that would take me to the next .journal entry, as the big event that I’m going to write about in that entry is going to take place here in a couple of…
