There does seem to be some of the old school returning. I don't think I want to see "shorthypestocks" again. Ole shorty was a real piece of, uh, work.

I think I have an old email address for TWOMIL somewhere. I'll look when I get home because I may be suffereing from "I hate retailers" syndrome. I probably should be happy to have customers. Only a few more days to go. Crazy busy -- Guitar Hero doesn't hurt.

To all of you folks who are buying the heck out of guitars this Christmas, thanks, I think. By now, it should be time to kick back and enjoy the spirit(s)....some here just call it Christmas whiskey.

Anybody guessing we will get a year end "letter" or biz update from Willy or RP? I'm thinkin' yes, but I still don't know Richard.
