For my Leap Year's Resolution this past year (sorry I'm a few months late in telling you about it, just ran across this post) I coughed up some cash, called a friend and went to Chicago for 3 days (during the week before studio week!) Hopefully you will get this message soon. I graduate in about a month, and I'd love to show you the project that resulted from this last-minute trip. Wishing you all the best! Alissa,

It gives me a chance to use the upper half of my IQ (the numbers over 30). You make me proud that you have taken the chance to do things 'your' way. Keep up the good work and call often.

I have to admit I tuned out the presentation for a few minutes (sorry Scott) and just watched you working on your laptop, processing the content, spirit and energy of the event in real-time, weaving it together into some of the most heartfelt, witty, and spot-on commentary I've ever read. You kicked some serious ass. Alissa, watching you live-blogging at Compostmodern was a real voyeuristic pleasure.

When you were in my writing classes at PC, I always saved your papers for last when reviewing student work so I would have something to look forward to while working my way through mundane. You never disappointed me back then. And you've never disappointed me since then. You're the best -- as anybody who is familiar with you and/or your writing already knows. So your new blog will be the best and you'll go on being the best. And so on. I’ve told you this before, Alissa, but because it’s a new day and a new blog, I’ll say it again.
