Just trudging along
Rick! Great to hear from you again after all this time. Us old-timers seem to drift into and out of the forums over time, but we're both here now for the moment.
I got your PM - glad Ruth is doing well, and the two of you together. And congrats on conquering that demon!
Your trees are coming along nicely - thanks for thinking of me when you posted them.
Your PM asked about a signed copy of the book - I'll see to it that it happens! You'll love it. I'll PM you later about the details: we've had some trouble getting books into Canada because of an ongoing postal strike or somesuch, but Elandan knows more about that than I do, and we'll work it out.
Not much new here, except that I've now got more trees than I want/need/can-keep-up-with, and, since I prefer to spend my time collecting and taking trees through the initial few years of styling, rather than the further refining and maintaining phases, I may be selling some of my more finished ones. Something I've not done until now, and something that stirs up a lot of mixed feelings.
Anyway, we'll chat via PM. Thanks for thinking of me, and for posting you trees here. Great to see them and to hear from you.
Will
