Pleasantly surprised. I had closed this out as data explorer showed others that had queried after me receiving responses.

Saw her speak at a conference recently and she was fantastic!

*Edit 10/22* Did anyone get a confirmation of receipt? I did not and now wondering (just based on other's response times) if mine may not have made it.

Re: tharvey -- thanks so much, I found it in my spam folder!
