I am so sorry to all of you who have written emails that haven’t seen a response yet. Thank you to all of you who have written words of support or offers to help in any way, and I promise I’ll have time to write back to all of you and post some of them here to share with everyone. And I have to try not to let a week go by again, because… well, because pamie.com readers have a lot to say, and I want to make sure I respond to all of you, either here, or individually, or if I can: both.

Tomorrow I have a 6am picket, and then an afternoon meeting at the Guild. It turns out not working can sometimes have longer hours than working. Could I be any more on strike? (Sorry, I can’t stop saying that one.)
