How about this. If one of you guys has a really cool custom and want to do the work to provide the pics and write the text in the same format that Mica has been using, maybe you can send in a completed document and she will stick it in there for a day or two. At least it will end up in the archive...

As a side note, if Mica ever has a spare minute, maybe she could write up an extra COTM page or two for some great instruments that just weren't quite the best of the month. They'd be easy to slap up in future months should a situation like this arise and keep the natives at bay!
