Terrific! Either I spaced it, or you worked with someone other than me on it
(that can happen, as I'm sure you know!)

Drop me your snail mail address and I'll send you a couple fliers to post.

We do ask everyone (Marketing 101, source effectiveness) - I don't -think-
we've had anyone come in from you guys, but it's more likely that someone
looking in Cambridge would be a city mouse and go to JP anyway :)
