Howdy on back! Ever a thrill to see the words “avid” and “reader” and “your blog” all together in the same sentence. Of course I’m a huge fan of NGLTF.

Howdy. My partner is an avid reader of your blog and I stop by periodically to see what’s new. I just noticed the your link to NGLTF is no longer valid. (I work for the Task Force/NGLTF and know that we recently moved our website… so I suspected it my be bad).

Here’s the new link: http://www.thetaskforce.org/issues/parenting_and_family

Thanks for including us in your list of links.
