Great? Ummmmmmm, yeah. Hell, I can't even get greatness thrust upon me on 
my best day. I'm mostly content to manage staying between fair-to-middlin' 
and tolerable good! :)

Otherwise: hangin' in, hangin'up, hangin' around, hangin' on, oughta be 
hanged; one or a selection (your choice) of those.

Getting over feeling cranky because of the old MS and spending way too much 
time forging and/or fabricating spears, Roman pilums, axe heads, 
polearms,and other miscellaneous quasi-medieval and Classical-period 
weaponry, sometimes to the detriment of stocking camping/reenactor items.

One of these days I should get around to making up a portfolio so you 
theforge and knife-list folk can see that it's not _all_ just talk. Bought 
a digital camera and so far it's full of grandchildren pictures.:)
I think what folks have been saying about that is pretty much right on: 
Customers often want to see that you _have_ done similar things before 
they'll ask you _to_ do some things. Just a fact of life.

Gradually putting together a modification of my Aardvark so it'll take from 
2 X 72 to 2-1/2 X 132 belts. (Guy gave me about 200 2-1/2 X 132 belts and 
I'm too cheap not to find a way to use them.:)

Sorta almost generally keeping up with life, the universe and everything. 
Work my rearend off when I'm feeling decent and grumble and grump and get 
cranky during enforced layoffs when I'm not. :)

Been concerned about Roy Wilson, since we share having MS. He's still not 
answering email: So all I hear about the old Emperor is whatever I read here.

How've you been, yourself, Mark? I've taken looks here and there at your 
knives: Doing some fine work there, Sir!

Sure is nice to see Andy V's name pop up again too.

Best,
John
