E-mail exchange between myself and my mother.

From an E-mail to some family and friends announcing the creation of Dispatches from the Frozen North:

Feel free to tell your friends if you find it interesting, but I'm really only expecting my mother to read it on anything like a regular basis. Even that might be asking too much.

My mother's response:

You have high expectations for your mother, but then she has the same for you.

Love, Mom
