Boy, I leave the list for a day with a "tension thought" and it all
turns to drum talk!

Thanks for the kind words Tyler! 

For the most part I have left the ink business, but have kept up my
contacts. I thought about jumping in to sell "me too" pigments, but
thought better of it.

Right now just happy to get some commercial photography jobs and
keeping the art repro business alive. Amazing how much simpler life is
when you aren't running to the Post Office sending off ink packages
anymore!
