    I do look forward to seeing you and getting to talk shop for a bit each summer. I fear I may have been overly-excited to talk about it last year. You have my sincerest apologies for talking your ear off about it all.
    You'll be back for 2015, yes?



    I would LOVE to see a museum of that sort! I'd spend most of my days there taking notes on the original masters' works.

    "Talking someone's ear off" demonstrates your passion and you don't need to apologize for being passionate about something you love. Obviously others enjoy your enthusiasm and are quite willing to listen.

    You are a humble man, Scott, you are an original master in your own right but still learning at every opportunity.

    Master boot/shoe maker D.W. Frommer II said "I consider myself a student of the Trade and believe that when you quit learning you might as quit making as well. But learning, and growth is a conscious decision...it always involves some pain and always requires effort and unwavering commitment." (Yes, that is the way that was written - possibly a typo in the original, but I wasn't going to change it)

    Two talented, dedicated men - one shared creed.
