    Hi, Dave, I am desolated to hear you are having to toss it in! Your
    story makes a pretty compelling case, so I can't try to talk you out
    of it, but I hope you won't burn your bridges, but merely go back to
    "hobby" status for now. And I hope you'll stay with us on Orchid--
    I, for one, consider you a friend. But, hey! You're not dead, just
    broke! It really looks to me as though things may be picking up a
    little. Oddly enough, what gallery owners tell me is that it is only
    high-end stuff that sells. I guess, with Dubya at the helm, that
    shouldn't be a surprise. (Sorry, non-Americans-- I mean George
    "Dubya" Bush) The rich are doing great, it's only the rest of us who
    are getting plowed under. This last year, I applied to 9 shows, and
    got into 2. Then I won top honors at those two shows. Go figure.
    Anyway, thanks for sharing, and I hope it works out for the best.
    Please keep us posted how you're doing.               --Noel
