The following are some of the letters I've sent out in the past. Just figured I'd put them here in case anyone was curious to see what kind of stuff I put out in the Jim Barlow Update.

Would you like to receive these not-too-frequent-yet-informative newsletters? Then simply send an email to with "subscribe" in the subject line, and BAM! You're in like Flynn. (Note: Not in like Errol Flynn, the handsome actor. More in like some guy in Chicago named Flynn who hangs around coffe shops.)
