So far I have left my "off" day as Tuesday.
As for questions, I am always glad to answer questions from anyone. If you have a question that can be answered in a very short email, you can email me the question. Otherwise, I much prefer a conversation than writing a long email, so you can either phone me or call me on skype. This contact information is always at the top of my web pages! I think I will be changing my off day from Tuesday to Thursday. Let me know if you have any pros or cons about that...Thanks!
Hi! I got a web message via this site from Tom, who listed his email address as tom@trose.net. But when I tried to reply, it twice said that was an illegal email address. So Tom, if you see this, please email me directly at danheisman@comcast.net so I can reply. Thanks!
Starting this previous week, my ICC videos have changed in format from game-based to puzzle-based. All my puzzle videos can be found at Puzzle Videos.
