Pre-PS: From the feedback (and unsubscribes), I know a lot of you didn’t enjoy last week’s issue. I appreciate those of you who took the time to let me know because that’s the only way I can improve – by understanding your likes and dislikes. I hope all of you enjoy this week’s issue A LOT more than the last one. Forgive me, maybe?!
