Hi Jen,

I received your email through the NANO system today. I had not prepared to participate in NANO this year, but your email was a pleasant surprise and though I have not even been thinking about a story at all, I have decided to participate and will do my best to be at Steak and Shake tonite to meet those who come out. So thanks for the email because I didn't finish last year, and even though I did finish in 2005, this will be the first time that I will actually have the full month to get it done so I am excited now!!!!
