I don't think that these threads are anything like Lamaze class.
 
I have been doing my hee-hee-hoo breathing exercises, though.

Well, I guess Jeff won.
 
Bill, tgo

sort of.....
oye
;-)

I'm in the also ran category.
 
Bill, it'll arrive when it's finished.  

One must maintain a very Zen like attitude.  How long does art take?  As long as it takes!  And the silver lining is that during the time I've been waiting, I've developed treasured friendships with the people at Alembic and on this board.  I feel as if I haven't just commissioned a custom guitar, I've joined a family.  Well worth the wait.
 
Bill, tgo

Well as a 'family' member, can I borrow a coupla hundred bucks;-)
 
Graeme
that's money btw. I don't want to make a giant venison casserole;-)

Uggh - I am now wiping coffee off my monitor and cleaning my keyboard.  
 
Giant venison casserole struck me as so funny!
 
Thanks for the morning laugh, Graeme.
 
Peace
Tom
 
PS - Giant Venison Casserole could be a good name for a band.

Isn't that Ted Nugent's new band?

Graeme:
 
Thanks for the laugh.  For that alone I'd lend you the simolians.  I do have a policy that all loans are personal, face-to-face, though,  so let me know when you'll be in town.  
 
Bill, tgo

it'll probably be 4 - 5 years Bill. I'm saving hard and senior management has said we can come over to choose the woods personally etc. (I think she's after a trip to california myself)
 
Graeme

Bill, tgo

Driving through Sandy, OR several years ago, I came across a sign in front of a little country store that proclaimed, Hot, tasty Gizzards! I thought that'd be a great name for a blues band!
