I get snail mail from credit card companies who could not possibly have my new mailing address unless they scammed it off some list. I’ve happily signed up for all kinds of email lists.

Dean: I start out with a little housecleaning, meaning I answer emails, approve blog comments, and check my calendar for meetings or tasks for the day.
