Now that we've gotten through the first round of enthusiasm (which is quite appropriate, of course), we also owe our new friend Brian a few words on the art of waiting.
If you go back to the original post, you'll notice that it is to be ready around x-mas time. While it would be great if it shows up in time to be the tree, around could just as well turn out to be sometime in January.
Being a small, mostly-family operation, you never know what might happen. One case of the flu can pretty much shut down the entire operation for a week or two, as it did late last winter. Even in normal times, Monday's pictures might well show up later in the week (sounds like you're catching on, Brian) - though you might find that Mica posted them very late at night, or even on a weekend.
Many of us have been through something like this, or worse, so there are a couple of things you should accept completely:
- the folks at Alembic simply will not be rushed, they're going to do it right
- however long it takes, it will be worth the wait.
We're all pulling for you, and share in your excitement. Just don't let us set you up for a big disappointment, if it takes a little longer than you'd hoped.
-Bob
