Greetings all,

    I finally returned from Tucson and am getting back to the
    workshop/computer. This year was my first with a booth of my own,
    and I learned that I don't like being tied to a booth during Tucson.
    Tucson for me is time to meet people, make contacts, purchase
    materials, check out suppliers, and show my work. Hard to do from
    behind a table. 

    I was very disappointed to miss the Orchid dinner, and a chance to
    see and meet so many of you. It turns out that the person I was
    sub-letting from decided Saturday morning that she did not like the
    accommodations and that I needed to move to a new location Saturday
    evening. Oh Tucson, the adventures never end. 

    The show was slow for me. Attendance was up 20% over last year at
    The Manning House Show, but as I was more marketing my custom
    carving service than offering items for sale, it was loss fiscally.
    Overall a grand experience that I expect will pay off over the
    course of the year. 

    My friends in GJX all had very good years. It will be interesting to
    see what will happen in the next few years when GJX moves to the
    Raddison and the new Civic Plaza is built where the tent has been. 

    Well, I hope to see many more next year,
