Were it not for the fact that I am knocked speechless by this magnificent list, I would say, "Wow, Cathy, congratulations and celebrations".

[Maryann Corbett]

Holy mackerel, Catherine! What a haul! Congratulations.

[Chris Hanson]

Very good, Catherine.
What--14 by 14 again? This is becoming your gig!
(I had nothing this time--couldn't even submit, such is the dry patch I'm in.)
Some of those other acceptances look interesting, too.

Best wishes
Chris

I'm stunned, Cathy, and lost in admiration. What a list of achievements! Many congratulations.
