Testing . . . testing . . . is this thing on?

I just built a little email list so you will all know when I post something to the blog.  I'm just seeing if it works.   Based on my track record so far, this shouldn't cause any worry about a lot of unwanted email.  And if you would rather not be notified this way, cool.  Let me know and I'll take you off the list.  I did just add a little post today.  Love to you all!
