The thing about Mudcat is that we all speak in this common place but we're so spread out. Here I am bemoaning rattling around an empty house. There is room here, but travel to Texas probably isn't helpful to oversee work on the property. Even Susan's room is several states away. What we can offer is moral support, so I hope you'll continue to send us news of your work, and don't hesitate to ask if you need some material thing we can supply.
