Please note, regarding email:

I would love to be able to reply to all of the e-mail I receive. I really do enjoy meeting new friends and chatting online with them. I also believe in being polite and responding to all of the e-mail that I receive. I have done my best over the last several years  to reply to my incoming e-mail and to keep up with everyone. However, realistically, it just is not physically possible for me to do this. I need to spend time sculpting, updating my website and spending time with my family.  I appreciate your understanding and your thoughtfulness. Thank you very much!
