Any plans on putting out any new, printed catalog? Up until last year I
still had one of your old black & white ones (the destructive power of nieces),
now I'm left with your more recent colored one and I would love to actualy
frame it or find a good slip cover.

(I have plans, but things are very unstable right now in terms of my workload. As you know, i had to take a lot of time off while my mother was dying, and just as that was settling down, and other kind of tragedy struck us: Last Friday, Lynette, one of the women who has worked for LMCCo part time -- and is the sister of Diana, a full-time worker, and the aunt of Eileen, another full-time worker -- suffered what at first was thought to be a stroke but turns out to have been a slowly leaking aneurysm. She is in the hospital, completely paralyzed on one side, and her recovery, which we hope and pray will be complete, is going to take a long time. This means that her sister and niece -- two of my best and most dependable employees -- may be cutting their hours or quitting entirely to care for her. Meanwhile, however, we have added two new employees, who are now in training -- Celeste and Brian -- but Brian is only working for us while he is laid off from his regular (seasonal) job as a welder, so who knows what the future holds. The upshot of all this instability, as far as a printed catalogue goes, is that i am working full time in the lab right now, 6 - 8 hours per day, with very little time left for web design or catalogue design. The desire is there, but the time is not, at least at present. So keep that old colour catalogue -- one day it'll be a collector's item you can sell on ebay!
